Anyone install a "Black" Bowtie yet??

[Cmillerjr]

Has anyone bought and installed a black bow tie yet? I bought a black one for my truck. The removal instructions have you drilling out the gold stock one. I'm curious if anyone has done this yet. How's it look? Does the two way tape seem to hold tight? Any advice is appreciated, I'm a little leery on drilling into a brand new 50k truck!

Ive looked into this also! but $99 bucks..man..

im thinking of taping them off and painting them

[Cmillerjr]

I took the rear emblem off completely, so I just bought the front one for 49.99.

Paint.

I plastidip it. Taped it off and sprayed it w 3 coats light coats of plastidip. Looks good and saved 99 dollars.

I never understood why people spend so much money on painted emblems. You can paint them any color you want for next to nothing. To each there own I guess.

I've never bought one because both of the emblems I painted were with plasti-dip. They match pretty well too.

Yeah I'm going to tape mine and plasti dip it

[Cmillerjr]

The plastidip looks good, can you get it in a gloss finish? I already have the aftermarket one, it powdercoated. I was just courious on how good the mount was.

Just added my thread of my plasti dip ones

You can get pretty shiny with plastidip if you use the glossifier.

No glossifier on my rims and they are pretty glossy. Use Adams SVRT or Chemicals Guys G6 Hyper something or another

Even though I have a aftermarket bowtie I bought a can of the plasti dip tonight, glossifer too. I'm going to try it out this weekend, just can't see myself drilling out my grill right now to put the other one on.

 

Do you like the rims done with plasti dip? How does it hold up to road salt?

 

Another question, a little off subject. I have a RZR how do you think the plasti dip would hold up on it?

[RyanbabZ71]

I cant say long term how it holds up personally. My car will never see snow let alone road salt, it is going under a cover here in the next month probably.

So on the white diamond, where did you get the Plastidip paint and what was the paint called.

 

Looks good,
