Recoloring Ford Emblem

[Mywhite94]

I know i saw a post about changing the color on the oval Ford trunk lid emblem, but i cant for the life of me seem to find it again. One of those silly things i finally got around to doing, but i seem to remember there being some trick to getting the emblem apart If anyone could run that by me again or link to the original post thatd be great.

pain in the ass. i tryed everything to paint mine black. i still want to do it but only if i find another emblem for free.

i got a free emblem and tried taking the lense off. i couldnt get it out for the life of me. i ended up cracking and chipping the plastic cover.

heres the link if you want to try.

probably have to heat it up pretty good

lol

if i heated it up anymore, it would of melted in my hands.

i actually made the chrome on the back of the emblem bubble up and turned it brown.

i'm gonna still try to take this old one apart.

i know you can buy them on ebay already colored

I posted a how-to on this twice already ..... and lost it again! Anyway, the link provided is pretty much all you need to do. I used a heat gun. I guess a hair dryer will work .... or the range top, whatever you choose to do.

I used an oven when I mod'd the fog lights on my subie. It softened the glue up nicely without melting the lenses.. Plus it heats everything evenly so it doesnt ruin it.

You can buy a stick on vinyl that goes over it and makes it look what color you want. i saw black and carbon fiber on ebay
