Cheap Crome Emblem Mod
HERES A VERY CHEAP MOD THAT CAN BE DONE IN 2-3 HOURS.....
1. GET SOME CARB CLEANER
2. MASK OF EMBLEM AREAS YOU WHEN TO CROME
3. SPRAY ALL THAT UGLY BLACK COATING ON THE EMBLEMS
4. USE A SKEWER STICK TO CLEAN SMALL AREAS
5. CLEAR MASKING AND ENJOY YOUR HANDY WORK.....
HERES THE UGLY ONES WE ALL HAVE
DONT GET THINNER IM JUST SHOWING YOU THE SKEWER STICKS,THEY WORK GREAT
BEFORE
AFTER
HERES THE DIESEL EMBLEMS BEFORE
AND AFTER
HERES A FEW SHOTS OF THEM DONE, WHAT I FOUND IS THAT THE BLACK IS SOME KIND OF THIN RUBBER COATING AND VERY EASY TO CLEAN OFF, THE RED STRIPES ON DIESEL EMBLEM WERE MORE LIKE PAINT AND HARDER TO TAKE OFF. I THINK THEY LOOK GOOD WITH THE RED LEFT ON BUT I COULD NOT SALVAGE THE DRIVERS SIDE SO IM GONNA GO BACK AND PAINT THEM. I'LL GIVE YOU GUYS A LOOK AT BOTH AND YOU CAN DECIDE ON YOUR OWN TRUCKS.
NOT DONE
DONE
THIS IS ALL COLOR GONE
AND THE RED LEFT IN (WICH I LIKE)
THIS IS THE PROBLEM I HAD, SEE THE CRAP BEHIND THAT LARIAT STICKER, IM GONNA GO BACK AND GET RED LETTER STINCELS AND REDO IT
SO ENJOY GUYS ITS CHEAP AND LOOKS COOL....

Acetone works great for that too... That is what I did before I got a set of custom badges from www.billetbadges.com
