Awesome video and awesome job! The painted badges look amazing! I was here to the end.

Awesome tutorial guys. I plastidipped mine but really thinking about doing the custom painted pieces. Thanks for the great video. 👍🏻

Just ordered a set of "Decals" to paint. Will be color matching with my charcoal grey and offsetting that with matt black. Should look great. Thanks for the vid, I'll be going back while doing mine for reference. Oh Finisher.

Finisher! Great, informative video and I really think the painted badges look badass. Lots of work but well worth it Sam.

Good tutorial. I just did this after finding the Etsy listing and talking with you about the once T&C offers. Since I already have a pint of my color for touch up it just made sense. My truck is a weekend driver (and has actually been down anyway for other reasons) so I pulled the badges off that were on it and just converted them. Worked well. Thanks for showing your end to end!

Nice video. One thing to make it easier, the slats in the shutter pop out. If you put a slight bend on them, they will come out. You only need to remove two from each side to gain access to the emblem. Thanks for sharing! Finisher!

Glad I saw this full breakdown of how to do this, ordered some online for my dad, its been 5 months of waiting, have yet to get them nor will the company respond, definitely going to cancel it and go this route instead.

Sam I saw your truck at the dealer when I was buying my truck . Looks amazing in person . Subscribed to your channel same day haha . Hopefully next time I’ll get to meet you!

That white Ford looks great. Love to see it from the side

Finisher! Working on mine this wknd. Hoping the matte black lasts a while with no clear to protect it. Chose matte to match the Roush appliqué.

Great video, nice detailed walk through

That looks real sharp, nice work. I see lots of other people plastic dipping their logo's too. I wonder why nobody plastic dips them, remove what they want to paint, then remove the plastic dip, wouldn't that be easier then removing the entire logo from the tail gate? regardless, the ford badges should just come this way. nice work again.

Has the repainted emblems held up. Noticed this was done 2 years ago. I am thinking of buy some door handle covers for my Ranger and painting them Lightning Blue same color as truck. They are a meteor gray I think. Was wondering how they this process would hold up on door handles.

Black Emblems from a 2020 with the blackout package fit, the rear is a direct fit and the front needs minor trimming to fit the camera as the cameras are different.

Looks great but too much to do so mine will stay blue. I did watch till the end!

At first I was wondering why you guys were going through all of this work but man the badges you made look much better than the wrapped badges. Well done.

How would you go about painting the Ford lettering red but the rings on that part black? I’m wanting to paint my emblem black for the whole thing and only have the letters Red. I know I’ll have to mask one while I do the other but, once one is painted would I need to wait a day before I mask the part that’s done so I can start the other part? Like paint the ford lettering then wait a day, mask the Ford lettering so that I can paint the rings without messing up the letters I’ve done already

I love it!!!

Good informative video. It looks good. Maybe it's because I'm a vintage tractor nut, but I'm curious how would people react to a truck having a replica Ford tractor badge circa 1955ish, which were actually bright red(search ford 8n tractor to see an example). If the truck is red already, it may look really nice and be a little easter egg.

Thanks for the video. I was wanting to do the very thing you did but I'm wanting to match the blue parts of the badge to my stock 20" satin gray SPORT rims. But my bigger question is, what did you do to the DLR light trim on the headlights?? I'm wanting to black out the chrome trim on my XLT with the quad LED headlights. That chrome just doesn't go with the rest of the truck. Is it tint film on the inside? Does the DLR still shine through? I'd love to insert a picture but can't on these comments!

@BackroadDriver

Жыл бұрын

It is tint. It's not regular tint for windows though it's specially made for headlights and tail lights. It is flexible like vehicle wrap material. I started with the entire headlight being wrapped but it cut out too much light. The material is thick enough that you can take a blade and score a line in the tint around the DRLs. It won't cut into the headlight if you do it right and then you can peel the excess away for the perfect look.
