I second the plastidip idea, plastidipped my rims and they are still holding up with 5+ months.

3rd for Plastidip

I bought the materials and got busy, my wife surprised me and actually painted up the emblems.

Alright thanks I'm gonna go try it....so I just spray it on and it will peel off? Should I wait for it to dry to peel it and should I rough the emblems up a little to help it stick? Thanks for the info

No you do not need to roughen edges or sand. Read the label on the plastidip bottle for instructions.
