Flat Black Emblems & Hella 500s (Pics)
I went to stay with my parents this weekend since I finally had a break in my summer so I figured i'd get rid of those ugly chrome emblems and go with black. Hobby Lobby did not have the black pearl paint i wanted so I decided to go with Flat Black for the "murdered" out look since I am trying to add as much black on my truck as possible anyway. Here are just some sample pics as night time creeped up on me and putting 3M emblem tape back on the emblems is going to take much longer then i expected, I was only able to get the back Toyota symbol and the passenger side Limited logo on. I figured I would throw in some pictures of my new hella 500s I added to my brush guard as well. Expect the rest of the pictures to be up tomorrow morning/afternoon.
here are the items you will need for most of the job.
here is the emblems with the 2nd coat of flat black added.
here is the emblems with a couple light sprays of clear coat on them.
and here is the back toyota symbol on the rear hatch.
Hellas mounted
Expect many more pictures up tomorrow as I will be adding on the rest. If anybody is interested in the "poor man's" emblem here is the write-up I used. I used the write-up kinda lightly but basically did everything it says.

Enjoy until tomorrow

i've been contemplating the flat black (or semi-gloss, perhaps) as opposed to the black pearl "everyone else" does. only difference is it'll be on white...

according to that write up the guy had his for 4 months with no signs of fade. i also did test it out with the hose and it seemed to have no problems holding up.

the emblems are plastic, a little sanding and some primer will help the paint to stick better, i don't think the plastic would stand up to sandblasting. i've also used a product called Bulldog that softens the plastic a little before paint and when the paint coat goes on, it bonds to the plastic instead of sticking on top of it. that and maybe use some of that Fusion paint specially made for plastic and i think they should last for some time. just my opinion though.

What you guys are doing isn't anything new. It's been done the same way 20 years ago, and I've seen the results
It will last 4 months, but give it a few seasons, and it's done.
