Some of you know, I have this old pickup.

I removed the 'FORD' letters from the hood and the 'Courier' emblem from the tailgate. They are chrome with black trim. However, the black trim has flaked off over the years. I want to repaint it. Any suggestions how to do it? The chrome lettering is in good shape, so i don't want to sand that, just repaint the black trim.

Hobby lobby. Get model paint and a good small brush you are in business.

Not sure about the paint, but that truck brings back a ton of memories from my childhood a summer spent traveling, my dad bought a ford courier pick with a camper top and we went to the grand canyon, mount rushmore etc... Good times! :thumbs:
