Need to paint them yourself or take them off and get some vinyl ones made.

Now that illz79 with only two posts thinks we are all a bunch of *#@*^ :lol: :lol: :lol: we can tell him that I have never seen any black emblems so have to go with decals, just take them off though looks better IMO anyways.

The chrome swan did go good on my long nose Pete when I used to drive around the U.S.
Of course it was black as well......

Sorry :(


IncubusMike painted his black. Maybe he'll chime in and let us know how he did it. I personally like the look, but wasn't going to go through the hassle of peeling painting and relaying them, which is why I'm opting for decals.

Well, I did paint mine like Daspes mentioned. I used a cheap bedliner from Wally World and hand painted them. It took 1/2 hour or so. I didn't want to bother taping them off so I just sanded them, and used a small paint brush to apply the bedliner. Worked really great. Make sure to sand and add quite a few coats. I have like 4-5 on mine. Nice and thick. I get very little chipping. If it does chip, I notice it is where I didn't sand as well as I should have. I just lather on some more and it only takes a couple minutes to touch up.

2006 KJ, I think it would look awesome on your red. 8) I just love black though I guess. :D

These emblems suck to take off. When I debadged the fishing line cut through a lot of them, and when peeling them they just rip apart.

Probably woulda been a different story had I heated them up.

I bought a black touch up pen and planned to just paint mine.

thanks for the help guys. i used to be into vw's and you could just buy a completely black logo, which after painting a few was a great time saver. so now that i'm in the jeep world, i couldn't believe that no supplier had them. i will most likely debadge everything or mess around with painting.
