Anyone know a manufacturer who could replicate the Badges on the Rear Door in black?
I realize that they would need to be stickers only versus raised.
I am planning on going "satin black" on my VX (with gloss accents) and wanted gloss black stickers for the:
1) TOD
2) 4WD
3) 3.5L
I don't need the giant ISUZU badge as I debadged that one.
Other option might be to heat em up and use the dental floss technique then once I get them off to repaint them in gloss black, maybe with appliance paint after I rough the badge up. Not sure how to do that with the TOD sticker since it is just a thin sticker and not a badge.
Thoughts?

Doug, I understand what you are going for, and I think it will look great. If you have a steady hand, I think you could make stencils out of frisk film or contact paper and then mask off and spray high gloss paint over the stencils to get the effect you want. With the TOD sticker you would just have to improvise a little. To me, stenciling is way to go, more permanent and not hard to do at all.
Here is a close-up of the stencil I did on my Trooper:
If you do it right you will get nice clean lines.

Wow, that came out really sharp and crisp.
I'll have to experiment on some scrap metal. Saw a sport bike at the Commissary the other day that was professional satin with gloss black stickers and frame and it looked really sharp and minimalist. The satin thing is really coming back, and not just on old rat rods. I have seen a BMW and a Porsche lately done in satin.
Yup, I will be painting the Trooper with this sometime soon.

Thought this one would be kind of funny for a fake parking decal.

To give you some size perspective on that...can kind of see it on my passenger side window, the small window behind the B pillar.
I think it was Dub that discovered those at the T-shirt shop last year (2010) and brought them back to the stoop.
