Debadging and/or painting badges texture black

Hey everyone...hopefully I'm not repeating a thread but I couldn't find something in our forums.

Today I removed the front Toyota logo/badge and painting it texture flat black. Not sure if I'm completely sold on it yet, maybe I'll put a gloss or clear coat over it. What do you all think?

So, when I find what I like, I wanna paint the plastic chrome grill pieces, rear Toyota logo/badge and possibly all the other badges. I really wanted to debadge the others but it appears there are located/mounting holes behind the badges.

Does anyone know how to remove the front grill pieces and the rear logo? The grill pieces look like they snap in but I was having trouble removing them and I don't want to break anything. Then I removed the 4 mounting screws for the rear panel but it looks like there is something else securing the back panel.

Any help and/or comments would be great. Thanks!!

 

That looks awesome!! Wish I would have seen that before I did mine. Gonna do the rest this way. Thanks!!
