Hey Jermy, how'd you paint those international emblems black?

Hey Jermy, how'd you paint those international emblems black?

Just scuffed them and rattle canned em. They held up for about 2 years. Now they are finally starting to flake off. I'll probably order new emblems, paint em and then stick em on the truck.

I dunno how to touch them up now. Taping would be a pain in the ass. So I'll buy new and repaint.

How'd you paint them then stick them on the truck though? I remember when I got a pair of those emblems awhile back there was a plastic strip on the front and back. You peeled the back off to expose the sticky side and the strip on the face of the letters was there to alighn them when you stuck them on? Did you just paint them then stick that strip back on the face of the letters to keep them alighned when you put them on?

Truck looks great btw!

Yes exactly. Reapplied the front strip after painting.

[stroker2]

Nice racing slicks :thumbsup:

 

[Jeff@Spartan]

Wow.....those back tires have absolutely no tread at all. LOL

 

[stroker2]

Forget to rotate the tires a couple burnouts back did ya? Dont put that baby in 4wd or else you will tear up pinion gears with the different tire diameters LOL

 

[WikedLizard]

Actually they were like that already when I got them. Traded my stock suspension plus wheels n tires for his lift with wheels and tires. Anyone got a line on some used tires for me? Or a good deal on new?

 

[ZacPSD60]

Any rubbing issues?? Debating between 20x10's and 20x12's..
