Default Chrome seat emblem blackout

So has anyone found an effective way to safely and permanently blackout the chrome seat emblems on the GT seats ? I'm trying not to strain my brain ........ What's left of it

From what I've read on some of these seat conversion threads, there's no real easy way to get those out, nor is there a blacked out replacement.

Plastidip, wrap or spray paint I guess. If you do any of those, please post lots of pictures so we can see how ugly it is.

It looks like an extracted tooth ............ Not sure if a replacement piece is available from parts. If it is, painting those satin black before installing them would be the way to go.

If you taped the emblem off very well, you might be able to use M-Nu. Marines use it to black out their insignia used on uniforms. I've personally used it for some of my uniform accoutrements.

Don't get any on your seats, or it might not come off though.

Another suggestion is black fingernail polish...

As an alum of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, I should've thought of that. Thank you for reminding me.
