    Hey all
    So I have my 14 silver access cab Tacoma and can't decide between debadged or black badges. What's your opinion. What did you do? Pics are helpful for me too

    Thanks Ryan

    Hey Ryan,

    For me, I plasti-dip my emblems just to see how things would look - It came out awesome and decided to leave it.

    Try do what i did: Dip them. If you don't like the look than you can just de-badge them.

    Here's some pictures -- enjoy!

    Since I dipped my emblems, I decided to get some matte bedside stickers.

    Sweet looks good thanks man. If you don't mind me asking did you use just the plasti dip can you can pick up from the auto parts stores or something special and did you clear coat them after or do they hold up pretty good with out

    Thanks

    I hate waxing around and in the gaps of the badges so mine are coming off once the weather gets nicer

    I bought a can from Home Depot for 8 bucks? No clear coat; just matte black.
    For durability, I sprayed 6-7 coats -- The more coats your spray the better.
