Default random help question

I recently bought my first house and I finally now have a garage for my stang...small but still its a garage. I want to put something cool on the wall so I was thinking about printing out a huge ford racing emblem and then cutting it out like a stencil and painting it on the wall. I have a printer at work that I cna print large files on, but the problem am having is that all the picture files I have found are colored in somehow which is going to waste a ton of ink. Is there a simple way somone could take a fard emblem or ford racing emblem, capture just the outlines and save it as a new file? I'm open for any other suggestions as well. Thanks everyone.

here is a link to a picture of what I am talking about. I'm not looking for the "performance parts" Just the Ford Symbol and Racing text. Again I am just looking for the outlines, no colors. I really appreciate the help. Thank you.

Yeah thats pretty much exactly what I am looking for. Is there a better way to blow it up other than paint, because its really blurry when I try to use paint and make it larger...I dotn have photoshop.

I'll blow it up probably to a couple feet total because I can use are big printer at work, but when you blow up something thats blurry, even a single line becomes large and uses up lots of ink. I appreciate the help everyone.
