    I'd like to cover/replace the chrome badges with black ones but everything off Amazon/Ebay seems questionable at best or garbage at worst. I've seen a lot of complaints on several threads.

    Does anyone have any highly recommended options or does everyone just dip them? I also don't want to spend a fortune.

    Thanks!

    For under $30 I removed all my badges, sanded them lightly, used a plastic primer, then hit them with a gloss UV resistant black paint and clearcoat. The only hard part of the process was cutting the 3m tape to remount them. My wife even commented how good they look.

    I dipped them first and just didn't like the look.

    Ditto on the OEM overlay kit. It's expensive but takes 10 minutes to install. They fit the chrome emblems like a glove.

    Just keep an eye out as Ebay does that every so often, I think most of the Mods on my truck have been thru those coupon days.
