Well here is the new emblem. Like I said, one decal ripped due to my aggressiveness with the power washer so I pulled them both and shot them black.
I used VHT Niteshades. Gives the emblem a black look until the light hits it directly then has almost a black chrome look. Plus it doesn't completely wash out the FORD lettering.

Only prep I did was an alcohol wipe. I'm thinking about pulling off my badges and doing the same thing. I'd just hate to break them, I'm sure they aren't cheap.

Reaper, when you did your headlights/taillights did you nightshade the sides where you see it going around the light? It looks like it's a cover because on the taillights it looks thicker than I thought nightshade just sprays on..

Niteshades was used on the headlights. For the tails I used a semi-gloss black to cover the chrome sections and a light shot of niteshades on the red portion to darken it up a bit.
