This is the second time I painted them. First time I used chrome paint and it lost it brightness really fast. This time I used just a can of silver and cleared and still looks good two years later.

lol its blue just crappy lighting makes it look rather black... come to think of it having a black ford emblem would be kinda cool. i wonder where you could get one.

You can make a Black one we did one for the truck. Its pretty easy, but Kinda time consuming.

All you do is use a heat gun on the back of the emblem and it should come apart, there is a tin backing plate and a plastic cover. Then you can paint the emblen whatever colors you want and then use some clear glue and seal it back shut and viola!. I haven't tried it with the contour emblem, maybe if I do I'll post a how to.
 
I used some generic mesh material from Summit and laid it over the stock inserts, unless you're right on top of the car, you can't even see the stock pieces
