How could you do it ur self?? take the emblem apart?? if you CAN?? and then spray paint it then seal it and put it back on with double sided tape??? Just get new ones, youll most likely have to if you mess up cuz youll have to buy new ones... its not a chevy emblem or a honda you cant just paint over the chrome its embeded in the plastic...

Read the link I posted.

Yes you take it apart and re-bond the plastic cover when you are done (not with tape [&:]). Its not easy, but the F150 guys have been doing it for a while.

i wouldnt recommend doin it yourself

its very very easy to crack the emblem...

we trie doin it very carefully on emblems we got at boneyards and we werent forcing it or anything and they all cracked...

if u do it yourself, practice on some old ones first
