I really like the way the anthracite matches up against the sterling grey. If this doesn't work I am gone try to find a spray paint that matches the sterling grey.

Does the rear emblem come off if you heat it up
And use some fishin line, or are there bolts holding it in!

I have the rear camera and you have to use a flat head to pop off the piece which will break the two tabs then the. Back part is bolted on. I'm not sure of the ones without the back up camer probably heat it up and fishing string.

That would work too, the F150 on the tailgate is a joy to take off as well!

I used some rtv glue to put mine back on. Hopefully I can make this Plasti dip work. I really like the looks of the anthracite. It matches the sterling grey really well.

Hopefully I like the way mine turns out, have a Tux Black XLT and I'm putting gunmetal fx4 20's on, so I'm going for a mix of black, gray, and chrome as I don't want to plasti dip my bumpers, and can't justify new ones!

I have anthracite grey on my mirror caps and grill surround. It is pretty damn close. Plan on doing my bumpers when winter is over.

Your grill is what gave me the idea to do my wife's rims. On my emblems I am doing the blue in anthracite and the chrome black. Than I am going to put it back together and do a couple of coats of glossifier, and if it turns out good I am going to do the rest.
