Question Easy way to paint

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?

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Easy way to paint

Hey Andy, after cleaning and wax and Grease remover. Adhesion promoter is a good way to go for plastic. Chrome bits 1st....let it dry a couple hrs in the sun, mask off chrome best you can, fine line tape is ideal...once it's masked do your colors. Good luck....Ed
