Re: front badge
When I did mine I gave it a good rub with some fine sand paper until it looked dull, this gives it a key, then a couple of coats of primer, then whatever color you want :-)

Yes I'd key it up first.
I wanted a black-chrome badge so I sprayed directly over the chrome to try and tint it. It looked terrible so I wiped it off quite easily.
