need ideas for debadging

Im new to all this forum stuff. I have a 2010 white tacoma and i would like to have ideas to help me debadge my taco the right way and paint them flat black to match my rims.

 

Fishing line to remove the badges. Can heat them up with a hairdryer too. Goo gone for excess adhesive. You'll naturally have to get some new tape to put the emblems back on after you paint them.

 

I used fishing line and a heat gun. Sand them down and paint them. Do a search and you should be able to find all the info you need.

Thank yall. Should I sand it till all the chrome is gone?

 

No... Just dull it.

 

heat it with a heat gun take fishing line go behind and it will slide off take wd40 to remove leftovers just did mine about a hr ago i sanded chrome emblems took the ma off the tacoma paint it black and gona put it under the tailgate handle

 

..............yea i was thinking bout doin the same thing but i dont know how taco would look on my truck and blacking out my head lights.

 

just gona do taco on tailgate will get a pic tomorrow need to get some new double side tape

 

did u take the sr5 and v6 off? i plan on debadging mine this weekend and tinting my taillights 2. did u just break the ma off or did u like cut it? does it matter wat grit sandpaper you use?

 

removed all badges, cut the ma off with hack saw than took a file to clean it up, sanded badge with 400 grit and painted, gona get some double stick tape tomorrow and put the painted taco badge about 2'' under the tailgate handle in the center

 

post some pics after you get them on. would like to see it

 

Debadged mine with the idea of painting them black and putting them back on.. but i really like the way it looks with out badges. even took of the trd sport stickers. only badge i still have is the toyota logo from the grille.. painted it with black krylon fusion spray paint (because its for plastic) and put it in the center of my black mesh grille craft grille.

white trucks definitely look good with black badges tho. good luck.. its not hard to do.

 

yea only reason i am doing mine black cuz my truck is white and i have black rims so i think it will look good after i tint tail lights and black out head lights

 

JLink your truck looks good.

 

thanks man! Yours looks good too. I love that wheel and tire combination

 

thakns. had to work bout all summer to save up enough money.

 

From this

to this

 

like it but i think i goin to put mine taco were the tacoma was. how many coats of clear coat did u put on it? how many coats of paint did u do also?

 

I used cheap equate Dental Floss(cheap and stonger than the good stuff), easier on the fingers and good for the gums. Then sanded and Krylon in flat black. Love it!!! I took off and left off the V6 and SR5 badge.
