neon black 
i would say flat but you're probably not going to appreciate the difference between gloss and matte (flat) finish until you can compare them both for yourself by actually putting them against the paint of your silver.
maybe you could make 2 same-size cardboard emblems, paint one gloss and one flat, and then hold them over the actual emblems, stand back, and judge for yourself

hey (buttdart) boca? maybe u can tag along with da speed3 crew round here
since the car is silver, the chrome doesn't look too bad on it. If there is ANY car color that chrom emblems look okay on, it would probably be silver. Any downsides to just leaving it?
If I was to paint the front emblem I would want the grill too black, unfortunately it doesn't come off!

I thought about it...not too hard to tape off, etc.
yeah, someone's done it before, it looks great. black grille, black emblems, black around the fogs. nice!
I'd like to see a silver one with all of those! Pics would be awesome to help in the decision. I jyst know taking off the badging and then reapplying sometimes desnt work well once the tape comes off.

right now, i just have black M's and smoked side markers... my wheels are going to be painted in a few weeks, semi-gloss black. i'm thinking about doing the grille and fog lights. what got me thinking about the fog lights was the fact that a boulder hit the spot right above the light. so i though if i painted it, it would be unique and cover up the flaw.

i read your profile and see you have a sunlight silver. Post pics when your emblems n all that are done. I'd really like to see it for comparison!
