To paint or remove

First off I'm a person that works off others opinions then make a final decision myself. What do y'all think about either debadging the whole truck or plasti dipping the emblems.

 

Black badges ftw

 

I debadged. Looks cleaner and makes it a tiny bit easier to wash and wax.

 

so just an update i decided to start painting. here is a pic of the front emblem

 

I like black emblems but I don't like plasti dip- the texture is too ruff for me!

Why not use some good flat black paint?

 

Thought about painting mine black. Decided to take them off instead. I love how clean my truck looks and how much easier it is to wax!

 

^^this. Debadged my tailgate last summer. This summer I will likely do my doors. It definitely makes the truck easier to clean.

 

I want to put the emblems on my door but I want them to say TACO. Think that would be cool Painted black.

 

I like them painted way better!! Paint them!! Going to do mine this summer

 

Paint em black! +1 Plastidip doesnt work great in cold weather

 

Just buy black emblems. Lol

 

De-badge looks 100% better over painting it black.

 

I don't really have to worry about the cold I'm in SC and the coldest I've seen it has been 28 degrees

 

Got a little free time today so I removed some badges from the rear. Trying to take my time with the free upgrades since it will be a little while before I start buying things

 

Black badges on a black truck? I'd say debadge.

 

I took the sides off and the trd sport decal.

If you can go to a Toyota dealerships parts department you can get the x-runner version of emblems in any color they paint a Tacoma in, I saved the other badges because i have more plans for them.


I used dental floss (un-waxed to get them off, with no heat), the heat gun if not used properly can cause paint issues.

 

I just used a hair dryer and some fishing line. And I removed the stupid dealership sticker on the back
