Id say tape around the emblem, put some plastic or something to protect the truck, use a fine sand paper and rough it all up then spray it.

I really don't know what you're looking for. We've told you what it's going to look like, and told you how to do it. Just go do it and see what you think of it.

True. You can search and search and search, but best way is to put it on yourself. Good thing about PD.. If you don't like it, take it off in less time than it took to put on!!! #tryitout

He doesn't want plastidip. He wants shiny black blobs, like he took the truck to a second-rate body shop that was too lazy to tape off the badges during a re-spray.

I didn't sand I got air craft paint thinner that you can get at a local auto store and took the black letters off. So it was solid shiny chrome. Then I cut some vinyl inlays for the f-150 letters I then sprayed it with satin black paint. A few thin coats. Then removed the inlays and cleared the whole badge. I have a picture of them in my album

I love how the red letters look in the chrome and really wanna do that to mine I'm just not sure how it will look once its taped off, because with my luck I'd screw it up. I already have the flat black "blobs" on a white truck and want to do the F150 in oxford white with the 5.4 Triton in gloss red

I was really pleased with how they turned out. And you could always get vinyl made for the letters and just clear over it. I'm sure it'd be a lot easier
