Paint the Honda Emblems? Yes/No

So I've been looking around for Honda Emblems (front and back) not really finding what I want around my city, mainly they're the emblems that fit the 2000 Honda or older. So where they've changed the size and and way the've been fitted on the front. I've been talking over me my autobody friend about it, who came up with the idea to remove them and paint them a metallic blue to match the color of the gadges/stero back lit screen.

So I was just wondering what people thought of the idea, or of any downfalls to this plan?

Thanks guys..

I personally wouldn't paint them, but it's your car. Do as you wish.

You never know until you try. Just as long as you have good paint that will stick. I saw a TC the other day and he had blacked out his Nissan logo and it looked pretty nice on the dark blue car. Let us see pictures if you decide to do it.
