Repainted emblems

So what do you guys think? I used a little Carolina chrome(Chrome paint) and some red paint to make the badges look a little more like the newer ones. I'll clear cot them and put them back on. They came off my 02

I just wiped off the paint after I sprayed it on, and then used the wifes fingernail polish remover to wipe them clean. I sprayed clear coat on them and two of them started flaking instantly. WTF? So now I have to completely strip the two down and try again. Well I just read that you arent supposed to mix laquer and enamel. Well one side made it through so I guess I'll wait and see if it actualy dries or not. Worse case, I'll get some 05-07 badges off ebay. I also came across an a seller on ebay that does custom emblems with the international logo and powerstroke logo in one. They loked cool but I don't like the Orange on the powerstroke letters. Here is another one on the truck. and a link to a guy that does the custom decals.
