good shape no paint chipping

 

how did u get yours like that and what is different with your powerstroke emblem

 

mine are from an 05 power stroke..the girls and the flames i got from a chrome shop for big trucks...some guys wash there badges with some kind of acid..cant rememeber what it was..but it takes the paint off and makes them all chrome..if you just want them to shine and keep the paint..i use mothers chrome wheel polish..

i cant remember what acid they used..some one will chime in soon and tell you what it is..sorry man....you could do a search..this topic has been covered be for

 

You can use acetone to get the paint off.

 

acetone.......

 

Like the prior posts: acetone. Just did mine this weekend. TAPE OFF THE AREA VERY GOOD!!!! Use a toothbrush or small bristle paint brush. Very easy.

 

thank you..

 

alpine so you left them right on the truck and just taped around them how long did it take you

 

It comes off in a few minutes. When I did mine I taped off the area and had a garden hose ready every 30 seconds or so to keep washing down the tape making sure it did not get to the trucks paint. I used a foam brush so it would not drip everywhere, plus they are like 29cents.

 

How much is the acetone? My paint is starting to peel up and i might has well take it off anyways.

 

I think a can is like $10 bucks or less at the local hardware store.
