paint peeling on emblems

i have a '05 250 CC SB powerstroke, and the paint is peeling off the emblems. The f-250 emblems are the ones. The powerstroke emblems are fine.

Anybody else have this problem????


So i guess my question is how do i pull them off.... I think i want to pull them off and acetone them... or maybe just keep them of completely. let me know.

By the way this is hapening to every single emblem...all 3 on the truck...

If you acetone them they're TOAST--it will destroy the plastic they're made from. I'm not exactly sure what to tell you to use without destroying them. Maybe you could paint them black afterwards and disguise yourself as a 7.3 . Might be profitable if you run across one of dem crummins fools Also--Ford will replace them under warranty--they're covered also.

I've noticed the same thing on most '05s that I've seen.
