These look awesome and I think I’m going to give it a shot too. For the folks that did this a while ago, how have they been holding up over time? Specifically the front emblem, facing rocks, road grime etc.
Mine did get a small chip pretty quick - on a chrome part. Which I kinda expect as adhesion to chrome is worse than plastic.
When it stops raining I can take a picture.

But keep in mind these are really only visible from up close. If you see someone with their nose in front of the Ford emblem, run up and kick them in the butt!

Good to know, last time I painted an emblem was on my Jetta in high school and it looked like someone shot it with a shotgun after a few months. But that was probably due to poor prep and paint. I wonder if putting some extra clear on these when they're done would help.

Pic as promised - not sure how long ago I painted this, maybe a year? I could search for my post after I finished...

A few dots - a big one on the top and on the d.
So far so good!
