How can I paint a Chevy emblem black with pink outline on the silver?

My girlfriend is getting a Chevy Cobalt and wants the Chevy sign to be black in the gold part with a pink outline where the silver is. I need the steps on how to take it off and what paints to use that can withstand the weather like hail, rain, bugs, etc... If you have the answer please help. Thank you!|||i wouldnt reccomend not taking off the emblem, however on newer cars emblems are tricky to remove without breaking them unless you have experience,





Step 1- remove the emblem





step2- sand the emblem with a soft grit sandpaper such as 320, because paint doesnt stick to smooth surfaces





step 3- paint the emblem completly black with rustolium gloss black auto paint, it comes in a can, available at auto zone





step 4- after the black paint is dry, outline the area you want to be pink with a fine line tape all the way around, then cover the rest of the area you dont want to be pink with tape also





step 5- find pink paint, i dont think autozone has that, but spray that, once thats dry remove the tape and youll have your emblem





like i said though, some emblems are held on with just glue or 2 way tape, in which case they peel off, but dont bend them or else they wont fit right or they will break, some are held on with speedclips and those need to be cut. take it to a body shop, tell them what you want, and theyll do it for less than 100 bucks more than likely.|||For paints, you can use NON-LATEX Rustolem. Also, use masking tape or painters tape to do the details on the logo. You don't have to actually remove the logo if you are painting it.|||How it should be why. I would save all the money I could for that car,go check out the government recall website for recalls on that model,should only take about 4 days to read.
