RyanK,

Did you take the badges off to paint them or leave them on and mask around them?

Thanks,

S.R.

Did you sand and prime them first?

You weren't supposed to have to. It was a 'Chrome effect' spraypaint that said to spray directly to the chrome surface.

I cleaned them really well, but I guess that's no good.

Wait... chrome effect? Is that paint for metal chrome? Because I think the metal wouldn't work for these since they're plastic (Aren't they? I haven't taken mine off yet)

It said for metals or plastics.

I'm just leaving my next one regular chrome. I drive too much highway to paint them methinks.
