Black out "Toyota" logo on grill

Hey guys,

I'm on the fence 50/50 if i should paint my front logo? I think it will look clean, especially since i have the TRD emblem on left side of my grill. Can't go wrong with that logo- was like 6 bucks on Amazon.

What do you guys suggest? Also- for those who painted the emblem. What did you use? Just a primer and matt black spray cans?

Thanks

 

I suggest you do what makes you happy. If you do paint, use sandpaper, primer and paint that is intended for plastic. Maybe some clear coat too. Or just plastidip.

 

Great! I think I might paint it this weekend. Is plastidip a all in one paint for plastic? spray can- can I get this at auto parts store? Thanks for info man!

 

I'm just scared im gonna do a crappy job with rattle can and have runs and drips over emblem -haha

 

I believe so. I've never used it, but tons of people here have. Ive always used paint.

Thanks !

 

Try it out with a can of Plasti-dip - do a thread search

 

I've considered doing the same on my truck but I don't really like the painted look of the ones I've on here (I see mostly white, red, and black).

I haven't decided what the overall theme I want to for the truck overall. I think I want to go with a yellow against the white. But unsure right now. I want to paint my skid plate when the weather warms up.

Plasti dip is peelable, it's not a paint. If you want paint don't plasti dip. If you just want to test out a color then do plasti dip because you can just take it off if you don't like it.

 

I plasti-dipped mine and it turned out great. the matte finish matched the rest of the grill and its held up to the pressure washer at the car wash no problem.

 

Ya I put like 3 coats of plasti dip on mine and all my emblems back in April and they've held up great no issues with pressure wash or anything

 

Plasti dip is the best!

 

Another vote for plasti dip.

 

plasti-dip....matches the grill allmost perfectly. if you dont like it or mess up, it just peels off...cant go wrong.

 

Reach behind the grill, there are three clips that hold the emblem on. Squeeze the top to clips in toward each other and the emblem pops out. Then push up on bottom clip to remove. Spray 5 or 6 light coats of Plasti-dip. Matches grill perfectly. You can peel it off if you don't like it.

 

Same as above
The emblem pops out easily & then one more for plasti dip, if you muck it up you peel & respray.

 

Thanks eveyone! So do they offer plasti dip in Matt or flat color? Which one should I get. Than should I shoot it with clear?

 

I plasti dipped mine and its held up for almost two years now. No complaints and it matches the grill well

 

Looks good man! What color did you get? Is it a flat - generic Matt?

 

Yup just the plain black they sell. Think I picked it up from advance or autozone
