Blacked out my ovals yesterday. Satin black and I think it looks great. Going to paint my running boards today.
I saw the thread title and immediately thought of Rick James. Just my personal preference, but I would remove and fill the emblems if I were going for the blackout look before painting over them.
i thought of DARKNESSES too (they just played the re-run last night). and if you are goin for the total blackout... remove that damn chrome handle off your tailgate
