Did some searching, and didnt find anything about this. I noticed the other day that the black on all three emblems on my truck was chipping off, showing the chrome underneath. The factory 36/3 warranty is still good, so they were covered. Anyone else have issues with the emblems flaking?

 

I did. I was told that the paint was bad at the factory. It was replaced no problem.

 

Same here, both fender badges flaked off. Replaced under warranty.

 

Mine are flaking on the passenger side. Looks like crap.

 

Mine started to flake, so I finished them off with acetone... no more paint on th fender badges, I haven't done the tailgate emblem yet. I was planning to do this anyhow, so the chipping was just some more motivation to get it done.

 

I think my dad just painted them with some of that "chip paint." From a distance, you actually can't tell.

I actually feel like doing what BLACKOUT-FX4 did, and black the things out, and getting some decals. Then again, I don't know how that would look on a DSG truck (I think that's the color.)

 

For those of you that had them replaced, were they the same as the ones that chipped, or painted with a different paint? How are the new ones holding up so far?

 

Exact same badge(just one). They replaced the whole badge. It's been on for 19 months with no problem. And I live in the salt and snow winters.

 

Pressure washers dont help them stay new for long either.....

Damn car wash.
