Here is what I ended up with. I did not put a final layer of gray over everything. Not sure if I will or not. I'm disappointed but had nothing to lose. The silver Testers paint became too gray when shining through the plastic which doesn't make sense to me. I put some aluminum foil behind the plastic and it came through shiny. Maybe they did use a special paint or mine was just plain wrong. Oh well, no harm, no foul and better than a blank emblem with no color at all. I still have some polishing to do on the grill emblem to clean up the white blotches. I also have some silver overpaint in some spots. I got a little sloppy when I realized it was not working as planed. For polishing the plastic I went as aggressive at 320 sandpaper first to get out as many scratches as possible. Most were too deep to get out though.
