My ovals are in terrible shape so I popped the front one off and tried something different.

I think it looks pretty cool. I like the marble look it has. Thumbs up!!! How did you get that effect?

Thanks. I sanded the clear laminate off ( it was so brittle it peeled off easily) then sanded the blue off. Its the emblem with raised Ford letters so I painted it with Dark torreador red, let dry for 2 days and went at it with 400 grit sandpaper not wanting to remove the paint around the raised areas and took it down to the aluminum. I cleaned it well and hit it with about 3 coats of clear. The Ford and light areas are actually like a brushed aluminum look. It was that or buy new ones.
