badge color advice

hey all, within the next month or so, i am going to debadge my truck and paint the badges.... i have 3 or 4 color choices.... since my truck is silver and i couldnt get it in blue when i bought the truck... id like to paint the badges either speedway blue, the tacoma red, or the tacoma black...

any advice would be very helpful, so would anyone with photoshop skills

thanks ahead of time!

 

OK GO paint you're badge. I'm the only one that voted. Case closed.

Check this one out.

the reason im thinking blue or red is because its something different, and i tend to be known to not run with the pack

 

Well...it's cool to be unique and all but let's say if you go blue....is there something else that you can paint blue? I like seeing new things/mods/ideas. I would like to see you attempt it. And if it looks good....all the power to you my friend.

I just think it's kind of hard to do since your truck color is silver. I think most people would say black.

 

not that i can think of... and if it doesnt work out, then i can spray black over the blue or red and be set...

 

I think the blue would look pretty cool... maybe the calipers also?

 

ive NEVER ever painted calipers... interesting idea though...

 

id go with black or blue. I got a silver tacoma and im putting a black tacoma badge on the tailgate.

 

set them on fire and put them back on and drive around and take a vid of it so we can see how F**king sweet it is!

Matte Black FTW!

 

Check into Sock's decals, he can proly do any color you want.

I am going out of the box too.. I have a white Tacoma and Im painting my badges purple so I vote for blue.. what about like a navy blue or something?

 

Just debadge

 

Contrast is everything...if you have a light colored truck, you need dark badges and vice versa.

On silver or white, black badges work best. For red as well.

Blues and blacks need to stick with the factory chrome.

 

I like the sticker badge Sockmonkey makes (on his truck). Thinking about getting a set for mine.

 

I vote none of the above, Olive Drab.

DO IT.

That way I can see what it would look like on my truck.

If you do any other color other than black, think about doing some kind of other color match mod so there's some consistancy.

For example, color match the brake rotors, grill emblem, etc.

 

im still leaning towards speedway blue... and i thought about the rotors, and the grill emblem, i would do the grill emblem on the grill, and on the steering wheel... and if it doesnt look good, i can always go red or black
