Hey guy's what would be the easy way to paint this piece? I want it to look new again. So how about it what, how would you paint experts do it.

First and second pictures are what it looks like now. I have it primmered. It's all plastic. I plan to do the BowTie sivle and red to match the truck.

The last picture is what is should look like.

How can I do the black with chrome looking letters & such.
Going to use black spray paint & chrome spray paint unless someone has a better idea for me. I know it want be perfect but how can I paint it and get the lettering to pop out?
