Totally understandable. I do like the black ford badges. I also did it bc if I don’t like it, I can just peel it off and it doesn’t hurt the truck at all. I highly recommend tvd vinyl decals if you decide to get the letters. I believe he is a vet and is a small business owner.

Looks nice!

You did a great job! That looks awesome. Much better than what I could have done. Of course yours is much cheaper but you can buy the smoked black Ford oem ones for $100. It comes in a kit with the front and rear badges plus blacked out camera housing. I did that on my Ranger and was a 20 minute install. Sure it's the same for the Maverick.

Thank you! I know my prep on the tail gate looked horrible but it was a spur of the moment kinda thing and didn’t have the proper supplies. I could have done that but for the price of one can and a lot of good reviews, I thought why the heck not! Turned out better than I thought it was.

Any tips for getting the lettering off on the front badge? The lettering is really shallow

@JOSHIC

Жыл бұрын

Apply about 6 coats, let it dry completely and use an xact-o knife to get the peel started. From there just take it easy and slow when peeling. If you notice the letters are pulling on the areas that you don’t want peeled, use the knife to cut it.

@@jtcindahaus that’s weird that it bubbled up. Did you clean it with alcohol before you sprayed? Also, don’t spray it heavy if you did. Do a few light coats and allow it to dry before applying the next coats. I did not put the can in hot water before I applied it but did shake for the recommend time.

Homemade black appearance package??.. My personal opinion would be just get the blacked out sticker and wrap it. One drive thru the car wash might take it off. Not bad though.
