Default Emblems 2.0











I wasn't real happy with how the the night shade and the shadow turned out so I decided to go the plasti dip route. It was a pain to pull these apart especially the ford emblems, but I think it turned out very well, and I didn't have to spend any money on overlays.

Here are some more outside pics. My only regret is doing multiply coats of Glossifier on the ford emblems.

Those turned out great! I wish they came that way from the factory, or I had the patience for doing it myself.

I'm off this week and the chrome was irritating me. You just have to be real careful pulling the ford emblems apart. I drilled out the back of the ford emblems, but I still broke the blue part on the tailgate emblem in a couple of spots. Now that I know what I'm doing it would go a lot smoother. Also when your spraying the Plasti dip make sure you do light coats. I tried heavy coats on that back emblem and it didn't work out so well. I had to peel and start over.

Why did you regret doing the glossifier?

I did about two to many coats and it turned the black a dark grey.
