Over time the Jeep badge on my Liberty has faded. Rather than pry it off and replace it with a new one does anybody have any ideas? Maybe repainting it?
Or maybe I should go badge-less.

I'd bet if you removed them they might leave a "ghost" print behind. The easiest would be to replace it with a new one. Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk |

You could plast-dip it black to match your rims. |

Ahh...that's the look I'm going for. I'll check the Amazon.ca site and see what they have. But I'll probably just paint mine black. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I removed mine and didn't have a ghost print. Well at least after clay bar and waxing I didn't Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk |

Most the time doing a clay bar and something like megs ultimate compound, then a good paste wax will get rid of it. Even if u can still barely notice it, it will go away with time Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk |

Exacto knife, masking tape, and alot of patience. Whatever you do don't try to pull them off to paint. They are somewhat soft and the letters deform and tear easily Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk |

Plasti dip and use a tooth pic to clean out the over spray and in between the letters. Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk |

That's what I did for mine. Plasti dip and a toothpick. Thick coats and about half an hour later you're golden  Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk |

I have around 10 complete used emblems from later model Jeeps. All they need is new adhesive backing. Let me know if you need one. |

I would tape it off and paint it black. It would work since you have a silver body and black rims. |

Black Mopar Jeep badges are not expensive, why would you paint it yourself? Look online. |
