The chrome on my fender emblems are starting to peel off and I was thinking about stripping the rest of the chrome off and color matching them to my truck. Have any of you guys seen this done or have any opinions on it?

 

I think I have seen it done before. I think it will look god on a black truck.

Im doing it on my black truck, i have seen them before and they look great. but i have heard any other color besides black will fade but not sure.

 

greg did those to mine back in the day..worked great for bout 6 months then turned yellow

 

yea i'm going to be getting either the 06 or 07 emblems in a few months. The peeling chrome is buggin me so I just thought about painting them black until i get the new ones.

 

Well i went ahead and did it yesterday, i think it looks pretty cool.

Don't mind the dirty truck..lol

 

looks good...you paint it wihile it was still on the truck?

 

wowak did them on his truck and they looked awesome

 

nope I took them off first

 

How did you paint them just clean them off good and spray paint?

 

I had some left over factory paint from when i hit a deer and got my fender fixed so I sprayed that on them. I'm sure if you get some good spray paint and clear coat they would look just as good

 

I also put this HOW TO up: https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ad.php?t=10026
Its similar to the one you linked but with some extra info and tips that I came across while doing several emblems.

Most importantly, if you DONT want the emblem to turn YELLOWISH after a few months, then you need to use a different type of GEL. Ive read that Everlasting Elegance will not yellow out any color. Its a bit more expensive than the envirotex and I could only find it online, not in any stores.

 

Yeah I really like how my ranger emblems turned out. I think I'm going to do the ford one next
