Best way to paint chrome emblems black?
I've been running around with plasti dipped emblems for 2 years now and they're starting to look like ****. I bought new front and rear Ford emblems, a new backup camera housing, and new F150 badges for the sides and the rear of the truck. I got the black and red special edition ones, and I'm going to paint the red inside the same color as my truck, which is ruby red. Now for the chrome and the blue on the Ford emblems and camera housings... What is the BEST way to paint that surface so the paint will stick and I won't have to worry about it coming off? Thanks! -Mike

I did that for the fenders and tailgate "F150" badge, I'm more concerned about the front and rear "Ford" emblems. I wonder what I could use to strip the chrome off the plastic. I was also thinking of using an epoxy based primer, and just painting on top of that. I'm also not opposed to paying a body shop to do it, I just want it to be right!

Disassemble, scuff, adhesion promoter, primer, base coat, clear coat... out of a gun.

I just got done doing this myself but on black ones.
Disassemble, scuff, adhesion promoter, primer, base coat, clear coat. I used rattle cans though from O'reily and they seemed to work really we

I then used goof off to remove the rest of the adhesive.

How did you put the emblems back ON the truck?
