What would u guys do...

[popo8]

The emblems on my escalade are faded..... should i get new ones..... have them airbrushed back with color.... or just tape em off and have inside the wreath area painted black or pearl white?

I would plastidip it first n see what it looks like

 

[iwaslowr]

Your pearl white idea sounds unique...

I dont know much about platidippin.... but i dont want to do entire emblem... just center. can plastdip be tapped off?

i think it may look neat... like just the outline of tge sheild and tge wreath are mounted.... no center...even though in reality its painted white...

I'd just buy new emblems. It'll look cheesy if you plasti dip them

I would take it off and see if I liked it...and if not then buy a new one.

what about color matching the center so it creates the illusion of only having the outline.?

Thought about removing it.... but the truck is buldged in that area for the emblem...

are you sure that whole bulged area isnt part of the emblem. seems like the whole bulged area and the emblem are one piece but i dont know a lot about the escalades.

the colormatch idea is intriguing. That's definitely worth a try! won't cost much if you don't end up liking it

They def appear to be seperate pieces.... stacked on each other for mounting around the lock

Cool... Im glad Im getting a few likes on this idea.

Anyone see a reason I shouldnt do the color match...

 

[07Burb]

I'm always open to original ideas especially if they are cheap to accomplish in the event it doesn't look as good in real life as it does in your head

Really? because in person all the pieces appeaer to be seperate but attached....

honestly i wont even remove it from the truck... id just bag the truck and shoot em.....


How do ya'll feel bout the front one being done in grey to match the grill...?

Or should i do white also.... or even black like those high end cars with the night vision cameras in the emblems....

 

[DoWork]

I say go white or black to stand out against the grill.

ok... and as said earlier.... i can just redo or replace it

 

[coolchuck]

Black would stand out against the pearl. Cant really envision it tho. But true, it's easy to undo if you dont tlike the outcome.

ok so pearl insert on the rear against the pearl paint.... but on the grill u think the black would not look good....?




I also thought, i wonder what i could have done out of vinyl.....hmmmmm

 

[popo8]

oooooo..... what about CHROME vinyle inside the sheilds to make them appear to be solid....
