Exclamation Custom Color Emblems

This is a feeler for a possible group buy.
I'm talking to a shop that does emblem painting. As of right now they only offer "Blacked Out" Flying M's. If they agree to it, would anyone here be interested in a custom color Emblem?

If so, what would you like to see?

Colors?(OEM Colors, something else)

Price(What seems fair?)

Any other thoughts?

I'm personally looking for either black pearl (like the lexus ones that are around) or a black nickel type finish for all of my emblems, more of a satin or matte finish rather than the glossy. Even gunmetal could work I guess. If that's do-able, I'll definitely buy in.

not even 3 hours.
2 coats of primer within 1/2 hour and then 3 coats of paint within next hour, and finally clear coat...then dry....

Not everyone here are super handy... I personally like the convenience of just popping the old once out and popping color ones in, I can spend the time it takes to paint an dry on a wash and wax or other quick mods. But to each his own
