done this friday

pulled it apart and painted it from the back of the plastic, really gives it a nice OEM look

Looks sweet. Painting them from the back is the only way to go.

On the GMFS Forum he mentioned using Easy Oven off...Do you have to use that? Or can you use a plastic paint remover and a degreaser for dirt and particles?

Not sure about plastic paint remover but here's what not to use.

the gold on the back is more than just paint, it's a foil so I don't know if plastic paint remover would do it. I suppose if the paint remover is safe for plastic you could always try it.

i used the easy off and it worked great, didnt cloud the plastic or anything, only took about 30-40 minutes for the gold paint to come off.

Just be sure to get the heavy duty, like I said in my thread I didn't.

Ok, Cool deal. Making a list of stuff I need to work on the truck this weekend so thats why I asked. Hope to get all the old Emblems off and the front bowtie painted.

BTW, For a midnight blue truck what color should I look for to match? I am assuming something from the Auto Parts because the Lowe's won't have that color.

Do any parts stores in your area have touch up paint? If you can't find that buy a can or two that look close then spray them on something else to see what they look like dry. I don't think you'll need an exact match because it won't be right next to the other paint, assuming your grille is not painted to match. I just used some red Duplicolor. I'm sure it's not an exact match but no one can tell.

Hey Guys, Just to double check and make sure I didn't miss anything...But the way my Manual shows it I need to remove the plastic cover on the radiator first then the headlights then the grill correct?

I didn't see another way to get to the bow tie without doing all this...
