I can for one attest to Mbullocks work!
He did a tailgate one in sterling grey for me over a year ago and it's still looking like new! It's been through Va humidity and below freezing temps with several touchless car washes and brush washes at the fire house. No problems!
I was also lucky enough to get a radio trim piece done by him, also in sterling grey, and it's been great! Looks like glass and everyone always comments on it when they get in.

You are correct about the front emblems and stone chips and debris impacting the emblem. I, too, had my issues with CTS painted emblem on the front, one was def. a huge stone chip but others were in a location where stones would be tough to impact. Seems it was from poor prep work to the emblem. He repaired it for free but even the one I got back, under magnification, showed poor paint coverage in the crease areas and some very tiny areas with no paint coverage. Once the weather gets better in my area I will apply a 5 mil clear vinyl over the emblem in hopes that is will stand up to the abuses on the front of the truck better.

To keep the cost low, if you have 2 piece ones, you'd send me yours. Basically, all I'm doing is prepping and painting. The customers will remove the badges, ship them to me. I'll do my thing, then send them back. For you to reinstall. I would assume customers would reapply the 2 side tape. That's a detail I haven't figured out yet.
If need be, I can order new ones. Or customers can, and have them shipped to me. I can disassemble, prep and paint. Cost would be similar, but the more work I do, the more money it will be.
It will not be $300 for a set of fenders and a gate emblem, like someone else was charging. If you order new ones sent to me. You'd buy them at the best price you can find. So there's no markup on my end at all. And I would charge to paint them. That price I have not figured out yet.
