Look at fx4wannabe01's and mine they look sick I colormatched mine to my DWB and he did the same thing the only thing we did different is paint the RANGER to match the truck also I did mine orange to match my pinstripe he did hid chrome. Prep is key though I need to redo mine they are chipping

fudge off 1wd. lol. I think it'll look good now. I change my mind, and am sometimes high, or drunk, you know that. lol.
I think it was involving all your chrome/polished rolled into my opinion if it'll look good on your truck. imo, won't look good on your truck, but on Andy's truck, aka all black, it'll look sick!

Alright I am doing it this week but have a few more questions. You think I should do flat black or Gloss black? How would I go about painting it? Just clean it and paint over it or do I need to use acetone and take the chrome off? Also do I need to put anything on top of the paint like some kind of sealer or anything?

IMO, remove the emblems period. clean'em with a toothbrush, detail the snot out of them. Dry them. Spray on DupliColor Adhesion Promoter. Then your color. IMO, i'd think about something like a dark dark graphite grey..gunmetal. but...to actually answer your question, i vote semi-flat. I think it'll be a good contrast to everything else. Actually, now that i actually think about it, paint it the same color as your grille and headlight mods...make everything match.
I would cover it in DupliColor auto clear...the clear coat in their automotive line of paints.
You could take acetone to it, but, it is a art you will find out...it'll smear all around. Then you gotta get a new q-tip and douse on a fresh batch and the smears will go away. It's sorta weird. Try it out.
