Whowwww. I had no idea how that's how the emblems were attached I thought it was just stuck on with an industrial strength glue. This is so cool. I always learn something new on your channel.
Thanks a lot! You’re right, amazing results! I actually paint matched my front and rear bumpers with factory color using only rattle cans and it came out great’ ! Thanks for the comment! #motivationcrew
I have a 2014 Ford Edge with a totally destroyed front emblem. Already found a nice replacement emblem and now just waiting for a warmer winter day to replace the crappy one. Nice job you did on your F150. Amazing to me how many different install options are on the various Ford vehicles...no wonder these things cost so much from the factory. Thanks for your post, keep up the good work.
I agree with you. For some reason Ford vehicles are good for mods and customization. Thanks a lot! Did you plan to paint your new emblem? Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot bro!! GA used to make them for vintage vehicle many years ago, but they don’t anymore. I got this one custom made on Etsy.com. Not street legal, I only use it for videos
@@MeAndCarKeys You're welcome bro. Oooh I see, I was about to get happy for a quick sec. LOL.. Cool. Etsy for the win! When I put our all black emblem on we totally removed all the emblems from the back of our truck to get that smooth tailgate look, in the future you could play around with some painters tape and cover those other 2 emblems up to see how it looks with that sweet custom painted one.
@@MrAvo404 thanks! that’s a good idea! I wasn’t sure what to do with all the other emblems yet. I found a website that sells overlay stickers, so I might try that route.
I’ve seen the same video you were talking about. Luckily my emblems were color matched when I bought my truck, so I didn’t have to paint them. I’ve seen guys use plastidip on the emblems with some good success. As far as the bubbling in the paint, next time just wipe everything down with alcohol to get all the contamination off of it. Oh, and I found some stuff for repairing plastic, it’s called Qbond , might give it a look. Emblem turned out looking good, have a good holiday.
Jimmy my bro! You’re absolutely correct about the alcohol! I just used water and a microfiber towel. Thanks for watching as always! Have a great weekend!
As for the F150 badge watch what you said @ min 12:55. Black IS the color my friend. Satin or mat as you don't want that piece to ""steal" the thunder of the center badge.
nice trick with wedging the emblem off w/o trying to push from the inside. I would go the super glue route as it would be less work to adhere the pieces. When are you doing the front emblem?
Thanks a lot! I’m sure I could have reached something inside too but this worked out. I didn’t do the front, I changed out the entire grill instead and it doesn’t have the ford emblem.
The emblem turned out perfect. Your video has given me some inspiration. I have a big emblem on the front with the camera built in. Taking it off is going to be a challenge so I'm going to do a little more research. It has to feel good knowing you did it yourself. Oh and by the way I think we are neighbors! Your neighborhood looks just like mine.
Thanks bro! I agree, I always feel a since of pride when I do things myself! Hopefully it’s not to much to get it out. The camera is probably just held on by clips. 😂 We probably are neighbors! Since you’re in the area, you should come out to the car meets! Let me know how the emblem goes!
I love the blue as well but it stuck out like a sore thumb......I’d do the F150 black and the tail gate handle the same color as the truck too.....the emblem came out awesome.......😁
thank a lot! I agree; painted allows for creativity! I originally planned to do the background in matte black and the FORD in gloss black, but i wasn't sure if it would even be noticeable. Let me know how it comes out when you do! Thanks for watching
I like this guy. No look at me getting coffee at Starbucks Bull $#t with my dog before talking with the real information. This dude cuts it to the chase.
Nice vid Mack! I've watched several how to's for this job. I'm about to do my '22 I just got in Oxford White. Planning on making the chrome parts black and the blue oval will be white to match the truck. I'm hesitant to mess anything up but seeing another guy wing it with great success is giving me some more confidence. My question about the factory tape vs the tape you used is the seal to the tailgate...does that seal well enough to the truck to prevent water from getting inside?
Thanks a lot! Trust me, You’ll be ok! The tape helps to create a pretty good seal, but the clips are what actually hold it flush. Its so tight that you can’t even get a piece of paper between the emblem and the truck. As long as you don’t lose the clips, you’ll be fine!
How did you clean the pieces? Might be surface contamination making the paint bubble. Plastics have mold release chemicals on the surface from when they’re molded that cause adhesion issues or the paint is reacting with the plastic that part of the emblem is made of
You’re probably right. The first time was water and a microfiber towel. The second time around I used rubbing alcohol as well. I didn’t have any experience with plastic at all! Thanks for your comment
I have a lariat special edition that’s black so it has red accents. I had a shop from Facebook do mine, charged me a EMBARRASSINGLY amount and they look horrible. I’m going to do this to my stock ones I took off
It’s holding up great!! Still looks like the day I painted it. Since it’s on the back of the truck it doesn’t get much road debris so that helps! You plan on paint matching yours? Thanks for watching!
I think I know who you're talking about.. Mr. g is his channel name, it's funny you mentioned him I watched his video today before I came here. at least that's him you're talking about. your video popped up on my RUclips feed so I decided to watch your video.
Whowwww. I had no idea how that's how the emblems were attached I thought it was just stuck on with an industrial strength glue. This is so cool. I always learn something new on your channel.
Me too! I also thought it was just one whole piece instead of 4! Thanks for watching!!
I love the end result. I have the same color Explorer and detest the blue oval. I’m trying to make a vinyl overlay for my emblems.
Thanks a lot!! What are you using to make the overlay?
Looks great, just did mine on my maverick. Amazing the results some rattle cans and time provides.👍

@@Powerman2417 that’s awesome!! I’m glad I could help and I happy to hear that it came out great!!!! Thanks for the good news!
Looks OEM. Thanks for video im planning on doing something similar for my Transit Cargo.
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate it! It’s held up pretty good for having done it almost 3 years ago! Let me know how it goes for you!!

Yeah I debated for a while. What do you think of the final product with the gloss black??

That goes hard. Great look.
That’s a lot!!!! 👍
That’s so clean, should have been an option from the factory! I’ve been contemplating this mod on my ‘13
Thanks a lot! I agree, I think Ford should offer this as an option! You should do it! What color would you paint yours?
It came out great! Nice job!
Thanks a lot bro!!!
Fantastic job
Thank you! Thanks for watching
Oh cool I had no idea you could actually take the emblems off the car
It actually looks really smart I love it 😍 x

I love the blue as well but it stuck out like a sore thumb......I’d do the F150 black and the tail gate handle the same color as the truck too.....the emblem came out awesome.......😁

Mega drip dude painting is artistic i myself was thinking just gloss black the whole emblem as one piece
