Holes? Mine came with no badges, and no holes. The previous owner is not the kind of guy who would have welded up the holes and smoothed them over. So what’s the deal -– some were through-mounted, some were stuck on?

Does anyone currently reproduce these (front badge, three rear badges) in black pearl?
I saw someone was making new collectors edition decals a year or two ago. Not sure if they still make them though.
What about correct 40th anniversary fender badges?
Thanks for the feedback in advance.

As far as I know I am the only one making tailgate badge replicas in black pearl or chrome.

These are laser cut and assembled by hand, and awesome if you want custom lettering.
They are not a perfect match to the oem emblems.

Bringing this one back from the dead. The PO painted all my Black Pearl emblems on my 40th Anniversary Edition solid black. Does anyone have any leads on either replacement emblems (front sombrero, rear sombrero, rear hatch, etc) or any paint options that actually replicate the Black Pearl look?

The ‘white whale’ people chase for resto - projects is the ~18” x 2” tall resin sticker
that is the printed “Toyota Landcruiser “ - on the upper hatch lip.
IDK if the black pearl emblems are NLA (sorta expect it) - but some quality sand/self etching primer & a deep bronze / almost black in a rattle-can would do just fine.
If you want to get super pickey, automotive paint stores will custom mix any color you want & add propellant.
Not cheap - It’s around 3-4x the $$$ of off-the-rack cans.
But the big back resin badge was ~$300 all day long something like a decade back when I raffled a NIB one for a fundraiser.
I still get PM’s over it, people want the back badge.
Yes, I'd love the Black Pearl back badge if one is ever reproduced. Our best bet may end up being this:
Also, I found this post and ordered some of the paint they suggested. Fingers crossed!
