So i got into my emblems today, got them off and started using the acetone with qtips. After a long time of scrubbing instead of coming completely chrome they came out as a black chrome look and the chrome letters looked so good i decided not to nightshade them for now. I've done and clear coated both front emblems but not the tailgate emblem and heres how they look in comparision.
It might be kinda hard to tell how big of a difference this had made but it's jaw dropping. I also think this will go better with the black and silver/chrome look im going for.

well acetone isn't just a name, it's a chemical. Get some finger nail polish remover that on the bottle says 100% acetone, or you can get straight acetone from the paint section, either way it's the same
