    Thanks and understandable I did mine gloss black with a blue metallic flake for dip. It almost looks like color match badges from far away

    I think the plasti dip looks really good on the white tacos. I dipped mine on my SSM then a few months later I removed them, I really like the clean look. Everyone has their preference of course

    I think blacked out badges look good on silver trucks.

    I blacked mine out. I did it because I have a dark color (spruce mica) so the badges are very subtle now. On your silver, you would have contrast. Not my cup of tea but better than chrome badges IMO. I vote debadge for you.
