If I ever get my bronco I believe this will be the first thing I do to it.I knew I wanted a black Bronco emblem the minute I saw one in a photo, but the Badlands trim comes with chrome. It was just about the only chrome on the whole vehicle (short of within the Ford emblem) and I wasn't a fan.
Watched a few YouTube videos and learned it's super easy and low-risk as it just peels off if you don't like it. I'm pretty thrilled with how it turned out, and I can attest to how easy it was. I have no experience doing anything like this before, so there is zero reason you can't Plasti Dip (or Hyper Dip, or any number of competitive products) your emblem in any color.

One before, and a few from the process:
They aren't already? LOLNow everyone will be plastidipping everything!!
So did you order online from Jim Tidwell or go in?@Webbie44
The Bronco script is sold by a member here. It sticks by 3m adhesive that's on the back. They were $90 shipped. The bucking Bronco came from James Tidwell Ford in Georgia. It was like $60 shipped. The part was $42 and they reemed my ass $18 shipping.

The part number doesn't appear as available on their site
Looks awesome! I went back and forth on gloss vs matte. Decided not to throw the glossifier on it.I went with HyperDip. A bit thinner of a paint so you're able to get a gloss finish. Went with Piano Black from DipYourCar kits. Came out much better then I was expecting
I’m not sure this would be the best solution for the grill. Any rock chip, ding, or scratch would mean the whole coating would have to be peeled off and done again. There’s no way to spot-touch-up something like Plasti-Dip (as far as I know) since it’s essentially one continuous rubber coating.Has anyone tried this on the front grille? Any idea if that would work out? I got the vinyl stickers for the front and they dont look good in my opinion, I'm also not a fan of the white letters.

Just what it needed. This guy made it look easier than the guy that melted the letters back on.
This is what you need. Painting them is not much more effort than plasti-dip for the grill letters
This! Enough coats is key and if doing larger items, using the proper spraying equipment. I'm one of the crazy people that does whole cars. I'm a fan of the DYC line and will be doing my Badlands within the first couple weeks of ownership. IMO, the spray is way nicer to work with than vinyl wrap but I also paint cars on the side as a hobby, so am definitely biased. The technology in pealable coatings has exploded in the last 10 years. If anyone's interested check out AutoFlex coatings as well. I've done jobs with their stuff that has full solvent resistance and you cut and buff just like a regular paint job.I've planned on dipping my flares and MIC top just to see how it looks before committing to something as permanent as paint... the key to easy removal is having enough coats. And like paint/powdercoat it can be done well, or poorly
anyone who is unfamiliar with it check out dipyourcar to see what it can do.

Here's my 2015 JK in a few colors I've had it in over the last few years. Definitely not the "whole car with a rattle can" horror stories everyone always thinks of.
Zombie Flip - Green/black color flip
Tangerine w/ gold pearl in the clear top coat (my version of CO ) - had just pulled it out of the paint booth so still had the rear fenders removed.
