Debadging

[Techna]

My rub Strip is Plasti Dip with glossifier over it. If it begins to look bad within a year, I’ll just remove the pieces altogether. As long as it goes more than a year without requiring attention, I’ll redo the dip as needed. The trucks without them look cleaner for sure, but I value the slight door ding protection that the strips provide. No regrets at all on the debadging.

Heatgun and goo-gone still the method of choice, or does anyone have any better tips ? Would love to remove RAM from the doors and the bighorn badge from the tailgate

That was the method I used when I removed my tailgate badge, but the damn adhesive seemed to be stronger than ever. I ended up having to hit it with a magic eraser and then some heavy buffing compound to buff out the scratches from the magic eraser. That did the trick...but was a little scary for a bit there. Interested to see what method other people used...I still have the doors to do.

Honestly I just went to a body shop and had them do it.. well worth the $150

I used fishing line to cut the foam behind the Ram, Hemi, 4x4, etc. then a eraser wheel on a drill, then goo gone. I love the clean look. When I bought my 09 Ram I took off the dealer advertising at the dealership with an eraser wheel I had in my other truck. The Salesguy was like "wtf are you doing?" I said I just gave you $39k you want me to advertise for you too?

Does anyone have pictures of body color badging, besides on a black truck, they could post up? I want black badging on my truck but the shop will only do body color because it's the easiest to do.

I bought the MOPAR black hood and tailgate badges (removed all others) and then added vinyl overlays from reflective concepts. You can also pay out the *** for custom painted ones.

A Friend mine does vehicle wraps and said that he could help out blacking out my badges. I might be better off buying the hood and tailgate badges and hyper dipping everything else.

do you have the part numbers for these. I really like how the lettering is not blacked out on these. TIA

It’s just the MOPAR black hood and tailgate emblems. Lettering I did myself. I used the vinyl over lays from Reflective concepts to do the lettering. Was definitely a tedious process but the end result was well worth it in my opinion.

What color vinyl did you use? I have a Billet Silver and was thinking about doing the same. Any pics of the hood from further back? Looks great!

The color I ordered was the non-reflective silver-grey. And that was from Reflective Concepts.

Here’s a few other shots from further back...

Thanks! That looks great. I dipped my badges black but it feels like they need something else. This looks just right.

I was definitely pleased with the end result. I would suggest ordering an extra set of each though lol might be my old man thumbs but the smaller lettering and numbers was tricky. Especially the tailgate badge.

I must have had poorly adhered badges, because once I ran the line behind them to cut them off I could just roll the adhesive foam off, use a small amount of goo gone, and done. Did the doors and tailgate (minus the Ram) in about 15-20 minutes. Way easier than I had anticipated. I used the wife’s hair dryer to warm them up before starting.

Has anyone just removed the hood badge entirely? I had considered replacing it with Black slash Dodge graphics.
