[JohnnyinLA310]

I have tried everything possible to take off the emblem from the grille. I am going to spray paint it and I need and want to take off the ford emblem to paint the grille. any tips or ideas? If it doesnt work out Ill just buy an XLS grille thanks guys!

my kitty "Ruby" likes the chrome lol

Shove a flathead screwdriver in there and wiggle it out ... Worked for me.
If that dosnt work try heating it up with a blowdryer ... Its just held in by glue.

If you paint onto the chrome, you will need to use a plastic primer first, or the paint will just peel off. Even better is to use a scotch brite pad to remove as much of the chrome as possible.

okay!

took off the emblem,... which was a stubborn child! lol I bought this Krylon indoor/outdoor spray paint in "flat black" that says dries in 10 minutes. I cannot find anywhere! Krylon Fusion spray paint in Flat Black. everywhere I been I only see the Glossy color/s I was told, I dont have to sand it. Then others say I should. well what should I do then? Should I buy some primer now? All I want is the Grille to look black. Here is the thing tho... The grille is plastic and and not metal or anything like that. it just has that look like its chrome but it isnt.

I would pay for shipping. but, I dont need an EB grille. Thanks for offering

It's plastic chrome, and acts much the same way as metal chrome. Paint may stick to it initially, but it will come off pretty easily.

alright...EB grill isn't chrome so after painting it..it would hold up better than painting over chrome. But good luck

It'd be easier to tape over it. I bought a black billet grill and beat the emblem out of the oem plastic grill with a hammer and then super glued it on. just another route
