I think you could pop out that piece and paint it, then reinstall it....haven't seen anyone offer what you asked about.

Yes but there are 2 gold symbols on that side, I think it would look like crap if I did that and it would cover them.
Do they sell the symbols maybe I could paint it and then put the symbol stickers on there

Do you mean like this?
I have the Union Flag on mine (being a Brit). I guess Pipedreams who is a Forum Vendor and made up these decals could fix you up. I think its about $50 for the first run

You could mask the symbols; like the pro painters do...don't brush paint on though, spray it lightly with several coats...piece of cake!

Theres no way you could paint it by masking the symbols there now

The easiest way would be to do it how that other guy did with the Brit flag...
Talk to a sign/sticker shop and have them make you a sticker exactly how you want it and just put it over...
Then you don't have to worry about paint at all...

There are rounded-off edges all the around that emblem and a sticker will not lay flat on it. It will pucker or wrinkle around the edges and look like crap.

Dave's Union Jack is not a sticker. It is an actual 3 dimensional molded urethane piece that gets installed after removing the original.
