Black out the Badges?

"chrome... What chrome.. There is no chrome allowed in this her garage or even on this property... Chrome be gone!" - csuviper

 

Bahahaha

 

Nice on the grill

 

Does anyone have black out badges with the silver paint like my truck? I would really appreciate a pic to see how it would look... Thank you in advance

 

I'll be doing my badges this weekend I'll post pictures.
Silver paint black plasti dip.

 

I'm going to do my front not sure about the rest

 

I know what I'm doing today got the plasti dip

 

Dipped grill, bumpers and rims

 

Awesome Video!!

Question, did you have to cut the space between the emblem and the body or did you just pull the paint and hoped it didnt pull the paint from the emblem? Also, did you paint with a primer or scuff the emblems first? sorry if this question had already been answered.

Thanks,

Have you tried washing or buffing? does the pain wear off or does it chip easily?

 

I read this and all I can think is ( hay! Where's Perry?) Anyone with kids will get it

 

I finally got to the SR5 badge.

 

I used a new tooth pick just make sure when the tips get broken to us a new one. I just cleaned the chrome and dried it. The first 3 to 4 coats should be light after about 4 you can make them thicker. The dip sticks to the chrome but not the paint. Use the tooth pick to get between the letters. If you have any other question just let me know! Good luck and glad I can help a fellow Tundra brother.

 

Yeah that is a good idea and i noted that in the video. Ever since i joined the forums ive been learning alot of cool customizations. One more question and i promise ill quit harassing you. After you apply the coats to the badges, let dry, peal off the excess and allot an adequate amount of time to cure will it chip? How easy does it come off and will mud or scrubbing take some of the paint off?
Thanks again.

 

It's pretty durable I noticed on the front of my first one on the sharp part a little showing through but no was going through a bunch of spinning car wash. Lazer wash have been great and hand washing. But it pills off super easy. I don't mind the questions at all

 

Black and white

 

The truck looks awesome!!
it gives me some ideas for the grill
What did you use?
Did you get your tailgate letters from Complete Appearance?
This is all ive gotten done so far.

 

This might be a good place to ask if adding a few coats of Plasti-dip glossifier help with and potential chips or scraping on the black outs, or can it work like a clear coat? Or does glosifier just make it shiny?

 

Shiny that's it huh. Hoping it could be a protectant.

 

Thank you. I used super white same factory colors

Thank you. I painted super white same factory color. I got from toyota dealer my tailgate

 

Hey Travis, have you had any chipping on the grill? Rocks, scratches. How does it hold up?

 

I ended up having all of my badges blacked out and love the way they look. Initially I wasn't going to add the side V8 badge b/c I was also concerned how it would look being that the letters were already in black but I think it looks cool and I'm glad I didn't leave it off.

 

Black iForce Badge on the TRD Pro (Inferno color). Just in case it helps show what the matte/satin finish looks like in contrast to the glossy paint.

 

I like that Pro emblem. Apparently you could purchase these. http://trdshop.com/truck-suv/tundra/tundra-2014-current/trd-pro-package/

 

Nice find...always good to locate a decent resource for OEM parts. I love the all-black badge.

 

No pictures, but I went with black Plastidip on the Tundra, SR5 and 4X4 emblems and smoke color for the iForce emblem on my '14 metallic gray Tundra. The smoke Plastidip made the iForce emblem look like brushed aluminum and the lettering is still visible.
