Removed black from badges...

So I saw the post about using Aircraft remover on the badges, and decided to do it. Was very easy, and took about 15 minutes. Enjoy the pics.

Looks Great, What is Aircraft remover? Wish I would have had it when I did mine. I used acetone and it took days. Finnaly gave up and used a Bic pen, just the body of it, ink cartrage removed and scraped the paint out. It turned out great but it took awhile.

Haha it's sad, I had to walk outside and look at the ones that are on my truck to remember the difference.

I did the best I could, if I got too far, you couldn't tell the black was gone.





Edit: Didn't realize how blurry the first picture was!

It would be really cool to see those painted to match the body, especially on a blue, red, or white truck.

Mine already matches, though (black).

see i said it was easy it looks good on your truck! acetone may work, but man, the aircraft removed took 5 mins for me, and it all wiped off in one sheet of black paint
