    I have been wanting to do something with the chrome badges for a while. I did not want to debadge and did not want black plastidip. So, I decided to color match the emblems with Plastidip~PlastiMatch/DipMatch! :rolleyes:

    4 coats black. 4 coats "Bright Aluminum Metalizer". 4 coats glosifier. I will get better pics, in person it is almost an exact match with metalic and all.

    Thinking of a name... chameleon/ninja/undercover/stealth badges!

    Kinda X-Runnerish.
    Tailgate handle will be next, then black out the step rails!
    ...what happens when I have too much time on my hands. :D

    Do it!

    There is a few different shades of grey available... True Metallic Aluminum is a few shaded darker than mine. Then dark greys such as gunmetal etc.

    Post up some pics when finished.

    I love when people do different stuff as opposed to black. I'm waiting on my electric lime green and pearlizer to do my badges!

    That should look sweet! Post it when finished.

    I was thinking of green or orange or blue for the front emblem... Ez and cheep enough why not try them all!

    Finished the tailgate handle and looks great. I'll grab a pic tomorrow.

    Will do! Green is my favorite color and pearl because I have a desert dune metallic 4runner. And I'm a girl so pearl is fitting haha
