Default Where to buy custom painted grille & tailgate Ford emblems ??

Simple answer is the net........................I know !!
.
Backstory:
Tomorrow I will be sending back a 2nd set of emblems I ordered on line......( $ 145.99 with shipping )
.
Prior to the 1st order, I contacted the seller & asked lots of questions, to make sure he was selling what I had in mind.
The 1st set of emblems had numerous paint defects, contacted the seller who apologized saying he would make it right, send them back.
.......( he would credit my account for the return shipping )
The replacement " mint set " arrived on 1 July.
This set had fewer paint defects than the 1st set, but still not what I'm willing to mount on a 50K truck.
.
So, for the site members who have custom painted grille & tailgate emblems, where did you order them from ???
Thanks..

To be honest this is something I have struggled to figure out. I have seen the "How to" posts and looked around online for someone who paints and it has been kind of spotty. I also looked in to billet badges. Even then they focus on the grill and tailgate emblems without the fender emblems.

Unfortunately, the decision I have finally come to (unless a better option comes along) is to just wait until I have a few other pieces I need painted, buy a spare set of OEM emblems to disassemble, and then take them to an experienced auto body painter to do it right.

I guess you could have the body shop disassemble them, but I think the best way to keep the cost down is to do the tear down yourself and let them do what they do best.

There is a member on here that has done some custom painted emblems. I believe his user name is mbullock? Very nice work, outstanding detail.

That is correct. He's been pretty busy with life as of late but sometimes puts out some things that he has done. He's a member of the 13th gen F150 and Raptor page on Facebook. Probably the best way to get a hold of him. He did my ecoboost badges and they are freaking sweet.

That second to last emblem would look great on my 2017 raptor. I'm torn on replacing the ford blue one really. If I do replace, I'm contacting you. Those look sweet.

Is that for all four, or just the front and back?

Yeah I don't do them to order anymore. I would get buried in work, probably because of my low prices and warranty. I could barely keep up before I had my 3rd kid. Now I just do a set or 2a month, and sell on here or ebay/facebook.

Well I'm glad I got you before you got too busy as they arrived perfect and are still perfect.

And for considerably less than anywhere else.

I get compliments on the Ovals ya did for me all the time-->

I've spent several thousand on truck Mods but the Ovals get all the attention...They were done right and underpriced, IMO!!
