I have.  I used "Gloss Black" Krylon from the local hardware store. 
Now, don't y'all get all crazy and flame me for using common spray paint
rather than some over-priced, "dealer-recommended" product (brings back
memories of the spark plug debate...).  It looks GREAT!  My original
chrome-like emblems were terribly faded, so I had to do something.  I
wet sanded both the front and rear emblems using a very fine sandpaper. 
Once they were dry, I sprayed 2 very light coats from about 2 feet. 
When the paint had completely dried, I put them back on the car.  The
"Gloss Black" looks awesome against the grille and blends in wonderfully
with the "Plum Metallic" on the rear.
