You might be able to swap the H's for Accord gold ones, but I don't know about the Sooo logos.

Anodizing does not require any heat- you just runa low current through the metal while it is submerged in a liquid (not sure what). However, the types of metal that can be anodized vary. You are basically creating an oxide layer on the metal that reflects the color you see - red, blue, etc.

Another idea would be TiN coating- titanium nitride. Again, I do not know what metal the emblems are- if they are even metal. TiN is a gold coating color that is VERY tough. (ie TiN coated drills)

Actually, gold emblems are optional on many Hondas and Acuras in North America retard.

PC will def melt the emblems. In the process you have to bake an item at 395 degrees for a period of time. There are mobile companies that come to dealers to do gold plating on cars emblems. Go to your Honda dealer and ask the sales manager to give you the guys name they use.

I emailed some companys about gold plating services and are waiting for their price quotes. This seems to be the only simple way without harming the emblems.

Did you contact a Honda dealer about whether or not an Accord emblem would work?
