Yes sem had some really nice aerosol factory pack colors. I have the order numbers for those somewhere. If I can find it, I'll post it. I know those can be had on eBay.




Yes, primer/sealer, should always be allowed prior to color to ensure true adhesion. Ever notice the crown vics/ grand Marquis of like 07-08 peeled horribly? Ford applied color straight to e-coat with no sealer. Huge problem for Ford

For my 2013 I bought 2011 badges that come black and bright red from the dealer and they also come apart to ease the painting process. Repainted them Ruby Red and a less shiny black. Also, for contrast I had the FX4 logo painted silver. All it took was a light scuff with a scotch bright pad and paint. Automotive grade paint was used.
