Sorry for the late response....

To paint the logos (sorry, no pics of the process, I will explain as best I can)

Take a hair dryer, and heat the emblem at close range for 2-5 mins, depending on how well it heats. Then, inbetween the clear part, and the outside chrome ring wedge in a knife. It works best to use 2. Slowly remove the part that says "Ford" from the chrome backing. You are removing that clear blue piece. It will just look like the ordinary emblem when removed, just without the chrome bracket behind it. Now, the backside of it should look silver. Sand off all of that silver until it is clear. Don't sand in the grooves, though, becuase you want to leave that silver paint there. It's easy to just remove what you need, just make sure you are sanding flat. So, now, when you look at it, it should look clear, with the chrome letters spelling ford, and the chrome oval. Mask off the front part of the emblem with tape, and spray the back. Wait for it to dry, and just re-install in the chrome base with a silicone or other adhesive.

Hope this helps. If you want, I can pull it back off, taking pictures of the process.
