No problem. I would go with a high gloss paint for maximum shine. You could even clear over it for added gloss & protection.

would it be noticeable if i used just white instead of ford's shade of white on the badges? or should i go with what color ford used on my truck?

You can get it pretty close. Try painting a small piece of plastic and holding it next to your truck to give you an idea. Ford calls it Oxford white.

Nice! I really like that! Did you take the badge off to do it? If so...how?

Nope. You can do it with the badges still attached. Soak a rag with acetone and wipe away. Didn't hurt the body paint at all, but I tried keep the rag off of it as much as possible.
