How do you paint the front emblems with the ford lettering so perfect? Tape it off?

you may still be able to pop it off in the cold give it a try. i would just try to park it in a garage or something to make a tad bit easier.

make sure you get behind the black plastic and not the medal doing so will make things a whole hell of a lot more complicated (possibly even having buying a new emblem)

Did you have to do anything to prime the emblem other than sanding it? Did you remove the plastic covering if there is one?

I used a blow dryer to remove mine. I have heard guys using a combination of heat and fishing line pulled behind the badge. I just did my tailgate as well.
