    Plastidip is what most people do.

    Heat from sunlight won't be an issue even in AZ... Do enough coats to get good coverage and it will last as long as (or close to) the paint on your truck.

    Also don't mean to sound rude but all this info is already all over the net. Just google "how to plastidip emblems"

    Dipped mine close to two years ago. Truck only gets washed using high pressure wands at DIY washes. No peeling yet.

    I plan to color match the front badge, and then the Toyota and Tacoma badges in either the black plastidip that i have, or just get black paint.

    Not sure about badges but I've heard a vasectomy will change the color of the baby. Maybe give that a try?

    Neither. Take em all off.

    Probably my second favorite mod. I love not having to clean/polish/seal/wax around them. Looks really clean too.

    Unless you're not wanting to keep them colored permanently then there's no benefit to plastidip over paint. Adhesion would be better with paint, so long term durability (compared to dip) goes to paint.

    Dip is removeable. That's it.

    Paint isn't, costs less, lasts longer, less idiot proof.
