A couple mods and questions.

Wats up guys,
So im done with summer term at college (UCF) and im back home for three weeks! anyway i had some mods in mind that im planning to do but i had some questions about some also. and my birthday is august 14 so ill be gettin some $$$$ and gifts so this is my plan.

Mods:
-S&B Intake
-AMI stubby 6" antenna
-Underdash and backseat neons
-Paint my badges
-maybe get US speedo guages

Questions:
My main problem is i have some questions on the badges.

1. I want gloss black so should i go with Krylon Fusion or Duplicolor?

2. Should i prime them or sand them or both? What grit sand paper and what brand primer if needed?

3. To mask of the badges do i need special painting tape or will any tape make due? ( i dont want it on my truck obviously)

4. How many coats did you guys do and how much time to dry?

5. If i wanna paint my ford logos is there a different method or just paint over them?

Thats it!!!! thanks a lot guys!!!! ths only reason im asking so many questions is because im not a painter and this will be my first try! hopefully it goes well with the info you guys give me.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
