Where can I get a rear black bronco badge?

I

did mine yesterday in plasti dip. Was pretty easy

Very simple, PlastiDip, dental floss, acetone wipes, and 3M Automotive adhesive tape.
I used the floss to wiggle behind the emblem and remove existing adhesive. The bronco came off in less than a minute. Then stripped the rest of the existing adhesive from the emblem and the tailgate using the acetone wipes and my fingers. Then sprayed the emblem with 3 coats of Black PlastiDip, dried it overnight, and used the 3M adhesive to stick her back on.

Why wouldn't you just leave it on if you use Plastidip? Seems very unnecessary to remove it.

Were you going for a textured look?

Yep. Plastidip is so easy to remove I just taped off around the emblem the best I could, sprayed it a few times (leaving time between coats), then peeled off the overspray around it. Done!

Where can I get one? Pic for attention, it is on back order at the dealer.

Bought one on clearance from the dealer. Was picking up some other items and saw it behind the counter guess they ordered it to add to another Bronco but that sold before they could add it.

No, use fishing string. Work it behind the emblem then saw it back and forth while slightly pulling down. Remove glue left on vehicle, then reinstall with 3M double sided tape.

How did you remove and paint it? Was it difficult to do?

You can also use a hair dryer to soften the sticky stuff before you start if you want.

I had the entire vehicle ceramic coated, THEN I realized the badge was also coated, spent 2 hrs with 220 sandpaper to remove the coating. then another couple of hours masking everything off.
I used black flat matte auto paint from Home Depot. 3 thin coats, removed masking, came out beautiful. I am a carver, so I am very patient about doing projects. Makes a big difference black against cyber orange contrast. I had read on this forum that the plastic coat may wear down. since I am not doing this again, i took my time with the auto paint. came out just like the above pictures.

LOVE MY BRONCO, not the soft top-- waiting for the modular hard top to see what that looks like. saw MIC tops, not gonna go that route and take a chance. Or maybe aftermarket when something decent comes out. Bummer though can't put my backup light on a soft top.

Easier for me to just pull off the emblem. Of course you are welcome to do whatever seems easiest to you.

I don't think you understand how plastidip works but yeah sure to each their own

How would you mount them to a hard top?

I understand how it works, I just preferred to take my emblem off.

Ridgid backup lights come with a mount which attaches to the hardtop (screwed in)
you can angle and set the lights accordingly. It's a complete kit.
all I need is the modular hardtop and I am all set.
I never plan on removing the cap, so I don't see any problems. Otherwise, a disconnect has to be installed

I have a matte black one from BFNTruckShop that I ordered and am not going to use. I ended up going with the one from Bad Bronco. Just looking to get what I paid, $65.
