I started my 06+ badge mod today, got one coat and a wet sand done. It isnt going to be just black so stay tuned for the rest.

You figure out a way to do the emblem?

 

I'm interested. I hate how big and chrome the 06+ emblems are.

 

Which emblem would that be??

The grill emblem on 06+

 

you need to write a "how to " on how to get them off

 

Get what off? The badges? Or the front emblem?

 

badges ,

Fishing line and your GF hairdryer. For reals.

 

eek , there a safer way like how the body shop does it ?

 

No idea, I have an 01 that I am doing this to. I can tell you how to paint that one, lol. and as far as getting the badges off, since I have an 01 I would say go to www.ebay.com and find some that have already been removed. lol

 

thats a pretty safe way to do it. The hair dryer shouldnt get hot enough to do damage to anything unless you leave it one spot for a LONG time. I heat up the ford emblems to get them apart and it works great with a hairdryer.

 

BADGES

 

Haha my bad....honestly I do not know.....but I'm gonna watch this thread closely, cause I wanna know. Mine are so faded..blah

 

are you talking about the fender badge? Or are you talking about the Ford emblem in the front? If you are talking about the fender badge that says ranger use a hairdryer and heat it up. if you are talking about the ford emblem in the front I have no idea

 

^^X2!

 

ranger badges on the side of the truck like your first pic

 

Yeah just get a hairdryer and heat it up a little bit and then take a piece of fishing line and run it back and forth behind the emblem, the adhesive they use will soften with heat and then the fishing line acts like a cheese cutter and cuts in between the adhesive and the fender. You wont hurt the truck and if you are careful you wont hurt the emblem. I wouldn't use a heat gun because they get really hot. be patient with it and you will be fine.

 

Hairdryer (or heat gun) and fishing line. That's the easiest way. That's how I did it

 

velcro laces are the **** arent they

The Ford emblem on the grill was a pain to take off. Must be some epoxy between that and the grill, I haven't taken the Ranger emblems off yet. I would like to black them out...I'll have to see how this thread turns out.
