Instead of buying some paint, just spend the money on the new emblems.

Most people try getting it off with acetone or another cleaner, and you want it back on I am not sure, but I would think warranty would cover it. I acetoned mine, I like the chrome badge, or you could consider custom badges from billetbadges.com

My tailgate emblem was replaced under warranty, but if the paint came totally off of all of mine I would just keep them that way. It was the half black paint that led me to replace mine.

The dealership replaced my emblems under warranty a few weeks ago for peeling paint. Depending on your dealership, they may have to order them and then call you to tell you when they arrive so that they can install them.

I noticed my tailgate emblem was peeling the day after I had them swap the tailgate for scratches under the dealer emblem. I'm going to call tomorrow.

ahha i made a decision when i got the truck to only lease it, so i didnt put all the money into mods and what not. that is why i have a project 95 explorer limited.

If i would have purhcased it, and not leased it, i would have gotten a a safari bar, the HD grill and headlights and some LED tail lights.

But that is besides the point. Ill check and see if any of hte local dealerships will replace them.
