I did this same thing to my 2012 crew cab. The front and rear badges pop right out. Much easier to do them off the truck. But I was surprised how they held up for 5 years still looked good.
Hey Mark, I was not aware of that in 2012, the badges just popped off. When I replace the back one with the fourth brake light th-cam.com/video/9C0oEctzukc/w-d-xo.html It had some pretty aggressive 3M tape on the back of it. Thanks for the tip for the earlier 4th gen owners.
Am I the only unlucky SOB that got a chrome tailgate handle ??😥😥😥 2014 Ram Express Crew Cab 4x4 So far I have added Vision Bomb 20x9 matte black wheels with a -12mm offset, leveling kit, 35x12.5x20 tires, Carvan Competitor series muffler, Rhino Bull bar and Window visors to be able to crack them in the summer and not have to worry about random rain storms in Alabama.
Sorry for the late reply Kyle..... But yeah I believe it or not it is held up perfect. I can't tell you how many car washes I've done plus I unfortunately cannot garage my truck so it's out in the elements all the time. and the emblem is on the front of the truck to boot so between little pebbles and bugs it still looks brand new... I keep telling myself I'm going to do a little follow-up video on all the tiny mods I've done to my truck. Thanks for watching and the support brother!
Nice job, why not just take the emblem off seems like it would be a lot easier? I pop emblems off all the time it is a little stressful but if you take your time and understand how it is fastened on they go quick.
Dude, I learned this the hard way. Do not mix plasti dip with a gloss coat unless its the PLasti Dip gloss spray paint itself. That thing will be extremely hard to peel off in the future because youre mixing two different coats. I know its just the emblem but trust me. Its going to be a pain in the ass later after it cooks in the sun. It all turns into glass and it becomes a mess.
Hey Mr. Wednesday, I knew that going into the project but I was never going to peel it off. I probably should have mentioned something like that in the video That's great information for others to read. I know others in the RAM forum had sprayed their wheels and then later down the road wanted to peel it off and it just came off in little bits....lol Thanks for watching and your support brother!
Hey Chase, I literally just got off the couch to go into the garage and shake the can to see how much was left. There is at least 3/4 of a can left. One can should be plenty to do two emblems and some... Hope this helps brother. Thanks for watching and your support!
It will look awesome! I'm a huge fan of black badges. You should post a picture of it in the Ramforum when you're done. www.ramforum.com/forums/general-discussions.38/
I 100% agree Bobby. I also always disliked how big the badges were on the side of the truck. Took those off in another video lol. Thanks for watching brother!
Nice! I like how it looks blue in the sunlight and black in the shade. I love my headlights. I've had them over a year now. No leaks and still crystal clear! Thanks for asking brother.
big daddy's house awesome! Where do you get them? And we’re your factory headlights projectors as well? I’ve read some reviews of the OLED tube going out.
@@rejiii6689 my factory headlights weren't projectors. In fact if you have factory projectors., these will not work. I haven't had any problems with my Oled tubes. Are you reading reviews on this particular headlight made by spyder or some bootleg brand? These lights were not cheap. when I bought mine I paid 320 bucks for them. I hope they never go out! Lol At any rate click this link and it will take you to my OLED video. Look in the description and I have the link to the lights. th-cam.com/video/G_vPQ2z3WdI/w-d-xo.html Sorry for the long winded reply. Lol
big daddy's house no mine aren’t projector. No I have read reviews on the Spyders and no they definitely are not cheap by any means. I want the tail lights to match as well. I will check it out now thanks!
If I was going to Plasti dip them, I would leave them on the truck because they have some crazy 3M tape on the back of the badges. I personally took them off because I think it's a cleaner look. I made a video on that here if you want to check it out.th-cam.com/video/jfTOg5T7USM/w-d-xo.html You can also purchase black badges on Amazon if you want. I bought a black hemi badge from Amazon. I also have a video on that install too. th-cam.com/video/XGU7lrArSv8/w-d-xo.html. Good question, and thanks for your support.
big daddy's house thank you for the info, next time i have a free weekend, imma murder them 😁. Your cids are awesome man, just the right amount of funny and not being corny. Ive watched at least 20 of them since yesterday
I bought a can of plasti dip & plasti dip gloss and made magic with them my emblem on my Infiniti came out so clean was so easy and fun will definitely be hitting the chrome spots on my whip
Hey Daddy D, I'm glad You're happy with it. I've had my emblem dip for years now and it's still looks like the day I did it! FYI, I love your handle. ;)
@@bigdaddyshouse haha thank you ! Yes that’s good to know will be doing some more stuff with the cans the emblem was just a trial since I have never done it !
This is awesome!! I love the matte/sheen of the plasti dip. I plan to plasti dip my honda civic LX emblems,.thanks for the full tutorial

Sweet brother!
It's just too damn easy to spend money on these trucks... Lol
Nice job bro....💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
Thank you sir!
Nice video. You should try bleaching the plastic and putting some LED lights behind it. :)
Will this hold up in car washes/storms over time? Already did mine, just curious. Cool vid!

That’s a sweet truck 🤘🏾
Thank you Sir.
And thanks for the support bro.
Did you ever do the LED backlight to the emblem?
I haven't done that yet. I did spend quite a little bit of time looking up things to make it work. Other things to keep getting in the way.....

How many cans of plastic dip would I need for the front and back logo? I assume 1 can should be able to do 2 logos. Thanks

There is at least 3/4 of a can left.
One can should be plenty to do two emblems and some...

big daddy's house thanks man going to do mine this weekend, my truck is silver so I think the silver and black would look dope.
It will look awesome!

The black mesh grill and chrome logo has always bothered my on my truck haha. Just doesn’t look smooth at all.
I 100% agree Bobby.

Looks great! I have a ram of the same color! How do you like those headlights? Any issues??

Would you do badges the same way or take them off?

@@therealrene1 awesome bro. Glad you are digging them.
New video coming out tomorrow!
big daddy's house i was thinking of just taking the grill off and doing the whole grill
I bought a can of plasti dip & plasti dip gloss and made magic with them my emblem on my Infiniti came out so clean was so easy and fun will definitely be hitting the chrome spots on my whip

What year is your truck?
Hey Max, thanks for watching brother.
My truck is a 2014 Express.
Sorry for getting all up in your grille there bruh.
I thought I recognized you lol
Thanks for watching brother
Dude, I opened one paper bag, pressed it up against the emblem to get the outline and then cut it out and taped it to the front of my truck. 😂
Great idea! thanks for sharing brother.
I dont see the glossy look you were attempting to achieve.
its still matte? lol
Way overkill on the bags bro
