Default Emblems
I have seen a lot of people with the f150 emblem all chrome. How do you clear the black out of it to make it chrome? I have tried paint thinner so that doesnt work..

On alot of the all chrome ones you have seen the black just falls off. IT was not on purpose.

You could try acetone, just make sure it won't hurt the chrome/plastic

Be careful with the Acetone. It will work though.
