Why would you flip the "A" badge upside down? That's a disgrace.

I sprayed primer on mine, then put a layer of clear coat with metallic sparkles so when the sun hits it it shines with metallic looking flakes.

You have a 99 right?

Soak the shift plate in paint remover and remove the top layer of paint. It's chrome underneath.
