Hey guys i know some of you would like to get rid of the ranger emblems on the fenders but dont feel like doing the body work to cover the holes. my trucks black as many know and im thinking about spraying the emblems black to match the truck. what do you guys think? - Jay

 

that would be tight if you bought some 06-07 badges and painted them black and painted the lettering silver

 

how about some of the fancy paint? Hammer black or crinkle black?

 

i think that it would look great. in fact i would like to try it if there was a good way to do it

 

That would be sweet! I would definately do it if I had a black truck!

 

great idea

 

Go for it!

Also, get some pics if you do go through with it. I have a black truck and would like to see how it turns out.

 

reminds me of what Roush did with the Nitemare. get the 06 ranger emblems and flat black them like this



saw the truck in person WOW i love it... and i like that idea with the emblems and a black truck

 

how would you go about doing this? would be as easy as a rattle can?

 

that truck is so sexy looking

 

hey guys well i did it and it came out really good. popped the emblems off, cleaned them with some dawn soap shot them with a little primer and than used just a spray can on them. i ran through the car was too and no flaking or anything. heres some pics. - Jay

 

How did you pop the off with out breaking it or scratching the paint?

Looks good, I might do it to mine. Flat or gloss black?

 

mine are gloss. i like the way it looks bc it flows with the paint of the truck. i used a little flat head screw driver and slowly pryed it off w/o scratching the paint. i used a little WD-40 too to help.

 

Is it clipped or, or sticky tape?

 

sticky tape it comes right off its not too hard

 

Was inspired to try this today myself, since work is a little slow, working at a body shop I had everything I would need.

Pulled the emblems off with a stiff putty knife. Removed the sticky tape with my finger for the most part then used Wax and Grease remover to get the rest, cleaned that off with soap and water. Scoffed the emblems with a Scotchbrite to promote adhesion. Sprayed them with 2 coats of Plas-Stick adhesion promoter. Then sprayed them with 3 coats of Flat Black. Removed the tape off of the truck with a rubber wheel and cleaned surface with Wax and Grease remover. Reapplied the double sticky tape to the emblems and cut to fit. (Reapply the tape befor painting so as to not leave fingerpaints in fresh paint) Was going to spray with Clearcoat to protect the blackpaint but I didn't honestly want them shiny but you could do that.

 

Now I need to get my truck to have Black "EDGE" stickers on the back instead of orange :/

 

I like what you guys have done with the black on black. Now with your insperation (sp) I have a wedgewood blue truck and I am a huge Denver bronco fan so I am thinking blue Emblems with orange letters on an 06 emblem or maybe white with orange letters. What do you guys think?

 

Could somebody ps these for me if you can that would be amazing, thank you

 

idk what PS means :X

 

looks good bro

 

ps is photo shop so if anyone is able to help me out that would be great

 

looks good a simple mod that really sets off the look of the truck. nice

 

Sorry I don't have PhotoShop or know how to use it :(

 

i color matched mine old ones back in the day and i liked it. couldnt even see them from a distance (only pic i could find showing them)
