Paint matched tow mirror caps

[Rambro1776]

I had a dealership tell me that body color matched mirror caps were not an option for the 1500 DT tow mirrors. Anymore info on this? Trying to do a complete chrome delete on the truck. Also, have a guy that paints emblems; I assume door panels have to be taken off to unscrew the side Emblems. Any experience w/this? Thanks everyone!

Mirrors will be either chrome or black.
Door emblems are held with tape, Once removed, you will need new ones as the tape is not reusable.
Same with tailgate badges, except the center RAM logo, which is held by tape and clips. Hood badges pop out also (held with tabs).

Cheers,

Would buying 3m tape and putting old emblems back on not work?

Not very well in my opinion. The emblem tape is very thin and precise. Not saying it can’t work, but it wasn’t worth the effort for me.

Emblems are relatively cheap rather than trying to reuse them, exemption in my case was the grille emblem as stated they are held on by clips. I took my grille emblem to my paint guy and had him paint them body color then snapped them back in.

Sure, it would work. But it wouldn't be worth the effort. It will be difficult to get the spacing and alignment correct, and if it's not perfect it won't look good. New badges come attached to backing paper that keeps them straight and perfectly aligned to each other when you install them. You'd probably have better luck using servo tape instead of 3M. It's thinner and sticks better than 3M tape I've used. I guess it would be worth a try, but I'd just buy blacked out badges and be done with it. Or use plasti-dip and you don't even have to remove them.
