Message: [QUOTE="gnxtc2, post: 1392683, member: 1414"] How to PTM your Ford 3D Emblems. How to tell if you have the 3D emblems----> Run your fingers over the emblems and you will feel the outline of the FORD and outer ring. I'm not a body guy, I dropped off the emblems at my friend's body shop since I was doing a PTM grill surround done at the same time. I know he told me that he needed to use an adhesion promoter on all the parts. I bought a set of emblems so I didn't have to drive around without emblems on my truck. Front grille (13").....BC3Z-8213-A Rear camera emblem (7").....CL3Z-9942528-B Rear camera base.....AL3Z-19H511-A PTM grille surround.....BC3Z-8200-BPTM My truck's color is Shadow Black, paint code G1 Stock emblems [ATTACH=full]165816[/ATTACH] The back of the stock emblems. To seperate the emblems, you want to grind away the mushroomed/rivet. I used a dremel to grind away the mushroomed plastic. Once everything is grinded, you just push out the blue part with a suitable tool. The painting part is up to you. [ATTACH=full]165817[/ATTACH] Here are the emblems back from the paint shop. The small piece is the center of the "D" and the center of the "F" script end. Front [ATTACH=full]165818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165819[/ATTACH] Rear [ATTACH=full]165820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165821[/ATTACH] I used a 2 part plastic epoxy from Kem Automotive that I got as a sample. Rear [ATTACH=full]165822[/ATTACH] Front (not pictured is the center black piece epoxied in) [ATTACH=full]165823[/ATTACH] All together [ATTACH=full]165824[/ATTACH] The rear emblem just pops off. On the bottom of the emblem is a notch, very carefully, not to scratch anything, insert a small tool to pry it out. Once you get some clearance between the emblem and camera base, it comes right out.
