What type of paint would I use to repaint the
F-150 5.4 Triton logo on each side of the front fenders?

They should be decals. Are you sure it was paint?

The decals are on the rear fenders. The front fenders have raised emblems which are probably plastic with F-150 embedded in them. The F-150 is black with the surrounding ared chrome color. The area around the F-150 is raised.

If you are sure it is paint, do you plan to spray it or brush it? Either way, since it is a small area, I would recommend just using a enamal paint. However, make sure to prep the area first. If you are planning to paint, it will need sanded so the paint can adhear to the truck.

Let me know if you have other questions.
