Mitsubishi should offer owner the option colored wheel emblem. After all it would be free advertisement for Mitsu. Anyway decided to paint them myself.

Spray paint ($1)
clear tape (for masking, clear so I could see and cut for inside corner)
8"1/2 x 11 paper (for over spray, cut hole diameter of the emblem)

They have vinyl color for the emblem on ebay but this is cheaper and more satisfying for me :P

Thanks. I seriously thought of getting one and do it that way but was afraid it might not be a smooth finish. How did it turned out for you?

its turned out really well. its a brush end but if u dampen it a little it doesnt leave any streaks so it looks like it was spray paint. and its the same color as the car! :)
