Learn how to remove and change the color of your check emblems, using the most basic tools available to you. Make your emblem look like an expensive one direct from the dealership!!
Thanks for the video. I didn't know the front bowtie could be removed from the front. I've seen a lot of videos removing them by the back which includes taking off the cowl, followed by removing the four clips and then prying the front grille just enough to squeeze your hand down through and push the bowtie clips out from the back. You just saved me an hour man, thank you!
I'm lookin n reading some of the comments y nombre they're from 3-4 yrs ago and here I am March 2023 all hyped porque I found this video smh.. I'll tell u what tho homie Hektor, glad I found ur video even if I'm 3 -_4 yrs late pero better late then never !.. These r the videos I would like to watch if I have to watch one for whatever reason.. hopefully you're still dropping new videos bro,.. if u are then I'll def be on tha lookout for them BIG SHOUTOUT FROM San Antonio TX 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻✌🏼💯💯💯👍🏻
You can easily remove the gold part from the chrome surround and reattach it. I had an old bowtie from my '17 Colorado that I messed with. 4 blobs on the back drilled out and the yellow insert comes right out.
Great Video….. Only thing is do different is lightly scuff the gold w some sandpaper, then prime it… But you did a great job and it looks awesome. I’m gonna do mine.. thanks for the idea and video
I vinyl wrap mine but I'am going to paint it cuz I dont really dig the wrap and if I have to buy the black one I'll still need to remove the rear one and you method is easy
Hey Hector, can you do that same thing to the steering wheel bow tie or is that risky for the airbag system? What about the wheel cap bow ties? Can you do a video on those?
I know this is while late but I recently (as in like 3 days ago I painted my bow tie on the airbag with a dupli color gm black paint paid 6 or 10 for the pen/brush/ clear kit and used the pen part for the edges or the emblem and the brush for the main part and let it dry then put the clear over it just if you do that(if you haven’t done this already) do be careful with the clear coat part, try not to brush a lot, I had a slight issue where the more I brushed(it wasn’t going onto the paint) and part of the gold came back when it fades because it inevitably will I’ll fix my mistake
There is a LOT easier way, and NO masking required. Those gold inserts are glued in, heating them up and VERY CAREFULLY pry them out. Much easier to paint! Reversing the procedure will require heating them again to make the putty sticky. On today's vehicles, ANY emblem can be removed, WITHOUT damaging the finish, by using heat and SLOWLY pulling the emblem off. Worked like a charm on my '20 Blazer!
It would be nice if one could do a "DELETE" when ordering a vehicle. Who needs a CHEVY logo to tell it's a CHEVROLET? The vehicles would look a LOT better (cleaner) without the badges or logos! IMHO
Yeah I was wondering about that.. probably wouldn't hurt to give the surface to be painted a light sanding!? But don't take my word for it anyone feel free to give advice on this before I go to painting
Do you know if brush on paint does well? I want to use some of that Black 3.0 stuff and I think it'll look cool , but I think it'll look less even coated.
I covered the gold on my Camaro with carbon fiber vinyl and gloss black on our Silverado. Probably take the wrap off and paint the ones on the Silverado.
Full disclosure on this one…2015 Silverado all chrome grille…it absolutely snaps the clips lol…if you do this some, possibly all can/will break…maybe weather dependent or some are luckier than others but I broke all but one. However with that said, if your swapping from gold to Black like me then fuck it who cares rip that shit off BUT if you are reusing emblem, deff follow factory recommendation.
just fyi... you dont have to remove the entire emblem..... with a hair dryer and a credit card/small screw driver, the gold comes off the chrome bowtie outline... it slowly peels up.... heat it up a bit and start on one end and peel it up and slowly peel it the rest of the way.. only held onto the chrome border with some 1/2" 3m tape. just replace the 3m adhesive when your bowtie is dry to stick it back on in place...
Great Homie I followed your directions to a T. And my or should I say MY HUSBANDS clips on his bowtie broke. What am I supposed to know? He's gonna freaking KILL ME
Well, that’s funny all of my clips snapped right off in the emblem won’t go back on now I have to buy another one and have it off until he gets here. Do not try to probably the emblem off. All of the eclipse will break it will not go back on.
6:25 you gotta make sure you hit it from the back and hit it from the side. Good advice 😂👍🏼
Salvador Gamon You heard it 🤙🏼
“I’m not showing you this so you can go steal emblems off the fuckin trucks” haha my first vid of yours and I like your humor alot

siccen s Only works on certain models 🤙🏼
Can you do this with a 2005 chevy?
@2:42 "started from the bottom now were here"
That was dope, very brilliant way to do than wrapping it. I don't wanna pay $130 to 150 for that emblem, just spray paint it.
Exactly what I was looking for dawg, I had all this done (planned out) in my head I just wanted to see it done. 👍👍💯✌

The Car Crazy Guy Nice 👍🏼 I have extra ones laying around. Gonna give it a try.
Awesome I was hoping you could. I want to paint mine.
Applying heat and SLOWLY pulling on the insert will do the job, WITHOUT any drilling!!
Can any Chevy bow tie be removed like this? I have a Chevy Cruze and your way of doing the emblems are the best
If you don’t have fingers then I don’t kno what to tell you 😂😂
Great Video….. Only thing is do different is lightly scuff the gold w some sandpaper, then prime it… But you did a great job and it looks awesome. I’m gonna do mine.. thanks for the idea and video
Exactly what I was trying to find. You’re the real mvp here.
Great vid bro. Is there a reason why you used caliper paint instead of plastic dip or regular spray paint? Is there a quality difference?
Awesome video,I'm about to do this on my 07 Silverado,just wanted some last minute tips.
Did it work 😅😅😅 pls reply
I vinyl wrap mine but I'am going to paint it cuz I dont really dig the wrap and if I have to buy the black one I'll still need to remove the rear one and you method is easy
First off, sir, it is not lame. I love it.
However,...
I do want to color rush, so thank you for your tutorial. Much love mayne.
Hey Hector, can you do that same thing to the steering wheel bow tie or is that risky for the airbag system? What about the wheel cap bow ties? Can you do a video on those?
Nail polish.

Awesome! I bought my paint a few months ago. Finally some time to do it. Can I do the rear one the same way?
What about painting the black in the grill? Cause a super dark bow tie and a faded black grill don't look well together
Best video i've seen on the subject, sir you are the sh!t!!!
Great video just saved me about $95 for a emblem set. when you spray the brake cleaner did you wipe it down or let it air dry ?
Help. I want to do it this weekend. Did you let the brake cleaner air dry?
Dude! So I have to have wolverine claws to cut frog tape? What do you have razor blades for fingernails?
Ibetiwon pretty much 😎

Will the paint work on the chrome as well if I want to paint the entire bow tie black?
That looks badass didn’t realize the emblems came off that easy.
Juan Hinojosa Easy money Homie 🙌🏼
Like "falling off a log".............OUCH!!!!
Great now the dealership will not have any bowties on their truck grills
bud man need a bowtie? Ik a guy
It would be nice if one could do a "DELETE" when ordering a vehicle. Who needs a CHEVY logo to tell it's a CHEVROLET? The vehicles would look a LOT better (cleaner) without the badges or logos! IMHO
Thanks homie I taped mine up last week wish I had to watch your videos sooner
Thanks brotha! About to try this on my camaro.
Timothy Baptista it’s gonna look good 😎
Trying this today on my 2018 Silverado loco! Firme video
Julio Monarrez Tag me on Instagram: Homie.Hektor let me know how it turns out 🤙🏼
Did the Carbon Fiber & it looks great…
My 2019 silverado bow tie has an up arrow for the front like you are doing. But how did you paint your rear bowtie?
I have a 2018 Suburban. Does the back bow tie come off the same way?
I believe so.
Yes! They are ALL CHEVROLETS ("see the USA in your Chevrolet"🎶🎵) all the parts come out of the SAME bin!
Has the paint held up? Any yellow coming through after a year? Looking to do the same to mine but was wondering about durability
Dan Ryan holds up well, the more coats the better the results 🤙🏼
Might not hurt to shoot some clear coat on it!
Ok ok ok, but what about the emblem on the back of the truck? How do we paint that one 😏
Matco Fools the emblems on the back are usually on there with adhesive, it's best to do it on the truck. Good question 👊🏼
Does this paint comes off with time? Or it’s a permanent paint?
Neysha Nothing is permanent, you may have to repaint in about 10 years. Just like car paint, it’s all on how well you take care of it
Yeah I was wondering about that.. probably wouldn't hurt to give the surface to be painted a light sanding!? But don't take my word for it anyone feel free to give advice on this before I go to painting
How long til you can drive with the painted bow tie?
Does the logo pop off easily for 2024 cars too?
Do you know if brush on paint does well? I want to use some of that Black 3.0 stuff and I think it'll look cool , but I think it'll look less even coated.
I would NOT use a brush, IMHO!
Dude, awesome job!! Question: have you done this on a Chevy tailgate emblem with it still glued to the truck?
David Lutter Yeah you just gotta cover it up so you don get overspray on the truck 👍🏼
Just put SOME heat on it. It will pop right off...
That's what's up I'ma go do mine right now good looking out bro..👍
I’m about to paint my bow tie right now!
Wow, that looks great.
I HATE the fucking gold emblems.
Volusia-ev Black just looks better on it ⚫️
any issue with it peeling off after it has been thru the carwash or over time? thanks!
Richard Adams nope...
Thank you 🙏
Great video! I have a 2011 Tahoe. Will the bow tie pop off the same way or just the new generation? Thanks.
Nice i like this video!! Real cool tip! 👍🏽👍🏽
Frank M Tech Looks good huh!
Easy enough for a woman to do. Thank You buddy.
Even a CAVEMAN can do it, so NO problem for a modern day Lady!
Will this work on a 2011
Edit: as in popping it off the grill with the screw driver?
KingNivy I’m not sure but I don’t think so 🤔
Black is the new good thanks homie 👍
Thanks man 👍
Been thinking of doing this to my sisters 2014 mailbu…just didn’t want to mess it up lol think I can do it since it’s a 2014 model??
YES! It worked on a 2001 Cavalier, will work on a 2014 Malibu. Don't know about Fords or Mopars.
What about the bow tie on the back? If the front gon be black you gonna want the back one to be black too
How well is the paint holding up? Does the paint come off any?
Can you give it a clear coat🤷 cause what if it takes off when your pressure wash your truck
Simple. Hand wash the emblem!
Dale Gas Homie ! I got that lame ass one and I'm giving it a Pinche burnt Orange color tonight!!!! Horale.....
Hell Yeah Mario Tag me on Instagram
@Homie.Hektor 🤙🏼
I like the Gold and Black
Can you pop them off the same way but on the 90s ones?
Ty so much for this. Totally going to try this.
Good job Wilmer Valderrama..🤣🤣👍🏽👍🏽
thanks man i just got my truck and im going to do this
I covered the gold on my Camaro with carbon fiber vinyl and gloss black on our Silverado. Probably take the wrap off and paint the ones on the Silverado.
Great video!
Thanks Jeff 👊🏼
Hell yeah let's start painting some Chevrolet Bow ties!! why do they call it a Bow tie?
David Bautista you serious?
It’s called a bow tie because it IS a bow tie..... it represents a sharp dressed man👍🏻
Can I do this in my Chevy Impala 2019?
@@jj780 I did it too... cheap and easy...
So it look sick ? because i have the same car
Full disclosure on this one…2015 Silverado all chrome grille…it absolutely snaps the clips lol…if you do this some, possibly all can/will break…maybe weather dependent or some are luckier than others but I broke all but one. However with that said, if your swapping from gold to
Black like me then fuck it who cares rip that shit off BUT if you are reusing emblem, deff follow factory recommendation.
That's what "JB Weld" is for!
Will this work for a 2014 Chevy Malibu?
YUP!
Do I have to use caliper paint or can I use regular car paint?
MJ P any kind of paint works, caliper paint is all I had but it works well 👍🏼
You need AT LEAST 2000 degree paint, that Summer Sun will "burn" regular paint right off..........LOL!
I like the minimal look that paint provides.
wyattoneable looks good doesn't it?
Looks SICK! I love it!
does the the rear one come out the same way?
The rear emblem is attached with adhesive. I’d do that one on the vehicle 👍🏼
Ty! I had no idea
Now you know 👍🏼
How are they with car wash?
You're the absolute man. Subbed!
Thanks bro. Finally
AdmiralD You’re Welcome 👊🏼
Hey was that caliper paint flat/matte finish?
Taylor Rugroden yeah, matte finish and it holds up well against heat. Still holding up 🤙🏼
Awesome
Would you recommend sanding?
Joseph Bostic No, I think that will mess with the texture. Clean it was some Trisodium Phosphate if you’re worried about the paint bonding 🤙🏼
@@HomieHektor "Brake Clean"
If you don't have fingers 😂😂😂
How can you prevent the paint from bleeding through?
Paul Wilson proper coverage, steady movement, good paint 👌🏼
The Homie Hektor. Thanks for answering my question. Is the rustoleum or krypton paints good?
Paul Wilson I would go with rustoleum 👌🏼
Ya wanna scuff it or spray some adhesion promoter on it before painting.
What's wrong with the gold
danielkostriba it’s gold...
Simple questions require simple answers 🤣
7:09: we’re going to let it dry and then remove the paint? Idk if I heard this wrong either way love the video awesome stuff keep it up bro
Rene Reyes Ha 😁 I did say that. Do as I do not as I say 😎
"painter's tape"?
Way coo... thx for the info
Salvador Cano Thanks for watching 👊🏼
I really like this. Can you take the bowtie off a 2019 Checy Equinox?
Better check with your local dealer, MIGHT void the warranty!
Can you link the products?
Neysha Ramirez I’ll link the products in a bit.
Why trade that the gold is the best look black is just ughh oem way better I wanna paint over the black someone already did
just fyi... you dont have to remove the entire emblem..... with a hair dryer and a credit card/small screw driver, the gold comes off the chrome bowtie outline... it slowly peels up.... heat it up a bit and start on one end and peel it up and slowly peel it the rest of the way.. only held onto the chrome border with some 1/2" 3m tape. just replace the 3m adhesive when your bowtie is dry to stick it back on in place...
Why would you do all that when you can pop it out in five seconds.. painters tape is cheaper than 3m double sided, and it's easier and faster this way
FIRE-EMS-3407 Time is money Homie...😎
Nice video but why not use vinyl
I LOVE "vinyl". The music is MORE "textural", IMHO....
Do you let the brake cleaner air dry or wipe it off?
It air dries INSTANTLY!!!!!! Just DON'T BREATHE the vapor! Stay safe!!!!!!
Great Homie I followed your directions to a T. And my or should I say MY HUSBANDS clips on his bowtie broke. What am I supposed to know? He's gonna freaking KILL ME
You can try gluing it or...I have extra bow ties if you need one.
Òrale ,, some fire content
Nice bruh
What about a clear coat
Joshua Martinez if you want that glossy look, go ahead and clear coat it. Depends on the look you wanna go for 🤙🏼
Mucho muy bueno 😀
Well, that’s funny all of my clips snapped right off in the emblem won’t go back on now I have to buy another one and have it off until he gets here.
Do not try to probably the emblem off. All of the eclipse will break it will not go back on.
Chrome. Make super duper, extra, no nonsense sure you cover the CHROME.
Chingon Carnalito...👍
I'm going to use vinyl wrap on my, good video...
Thought about using it on MY schmeckle. The wife might like it!
Can't you take that off with floss?
Theodore Crawford maybe 🤔 haven’t tried it yet...
Tight
What about the rear emblem
Louiz Rich the rear emblem is adhered on there, you wanna cover the surroundings and do it on the vehicle 🤙🏼
Appreciate it
Louiz Rich thanks for subscribing 👊🏼
