Like this?
All you need is a toothpick and some patience brother. No tracing needed. Of course, shade helps - for you obviously, not the emblem...

Cool, man.. First time using PD, I just put 3/4 light coats down on both emblems, and could tell this was something cool. The whole emblem was WHITE and matched my truck, but the raised chrome "FORD" still showed through and looked super cool. I knew I wasn't the only one to think about a toothpick/razer/knife. Yours came out great. Better than 90% of the vinyl inlays I've seen. (Not to mention $30-$50 cheaper, ha) - Legit!

Yep, did F150 and reflectors too. Removed the EB badges completely.

Overspray comes off easy too, if you get lazy and don't paper and tape off enough of the truck... ahem... not that I didn't.

I was going to dip the flares White but PD White is brighter than OxFORD White so I decided to go with Gunmetal to match the stripes I added on the bottom.

Has anyone tried Anthracite on badges/emblems?

Have a Tux Black FX4 and was going to black out the F150 badges, but got to thinking Anthracite might look good against the black...

Black with Glossifier or the Pearlizer?? vs Anthracite?

Any thoughts?

Funny you should ask. I'm doing that to mine now. I did black on most items but just did Anthracite with glossifier on the badges and wheels. Only got two wheels done and will probably finish the other two this weekend. I have some pics I can post in a little bit.
