So I finally got around to modding my '06+ emblems i got a few months back from the great vendor, UnderdogPerformance aka MR. WAYNE. Whether was finally getting warm enough for painting. I only got one done, but will likely do the other later tonight, or possibly on my next weekend off.

I've seen 06+ emblems modded, but not modded the way I did it. I thank RangerMuse for his help and suggestions on this. Right now the clear is drying....so some of the bottom pics the chrome looks like crap...but right now it looks pretty cool!

Materials Used:

Acetone
Q-tips (not the rapper, the ear cleaning things)
Paper towels
DupliColor Adhesion Promoter
DupliColor T293 Deep Wedgewood Blue
DupliColor Clear top coat
3" blue tape (the good stuff)
Many different xacto knifes(used the medium sized one the most.


Lots o pics.....








Masking was the BIGGEST PITA! ever. I kept having to redo it, and redo it, and redo it. Yea.....it sucked kinda.

 

very nice work, i like it!

 

Very nice!

Love it!

 

Get a side pic of the entire truck when you can. Looks great man, all that masking pays off.

 

nice, i like it.

 

Wow that looks a lot better than I thought it would, definitely looks good on a dark color

 

Only got one done so far. Waiting to install til both are complete and i'm satisfied with the results. Definately will post side pics of it on the truck....no doubt.




Did anyone notice where I accident knicked the blue paint with the xacto knife when puling the masking tape off?? above the "N", in the first "R", and the "G"???? The clear sorta covered them up except the "N".

 

I don't see anything

Ah i can see it in the pic before the clear, I would have redone it there but thats cause I'm **** like that

 

I DID I DID!!!

 

Thats because i freakin' told you about it....biatch.

 

EDIT:

Here's a comparo between before and after:

 

i think those would look so much better without the blank bar at the bottom..

 

Your truck would look so much better if it had real paint on it! sorry had to. lol. Yea i agree with ya. I'm kinda thinking about doing it with my screenname...like what I have on my back window:



Kinda like this:

 

it will just get messed up anyways, i plan to have fun with it offroad.

i won't have to worry about paint if it gets scratched.
but i will be painting it with gloss paint this spring if that makes you feel any better.

 

Thats badass man. However you gave me another Idea.

 

 

wow that looks great

 

Very nice! Looks great!

 

Looks good man can't wait to see it on your truck..now the big pain in the *** is u have to gte the other one just as good as this one.

 

I bought some emblems about a year ago and have been working on the same thing.. got one done but havent really done much to the second.. I think im just too **** about getting the letters perfectly chrome with no black on them at all..

But yours came out pretty good

 

Thanks again, ya'll.

 

I do like that idea, good work

 

looks good

 

Looks good Skippy! I like it.

 

Man thats some nit picky work right there which takes so much patience..but man it turned out so good!!
