Default Chrome badges

How many do you want your badges on your truck chrome but don't want to spend alot of money.

Here is what you can do.

You will need acetone, toothbrush, qutips, windex, paper towels, and some blue masking tape 3inch wide.

What you do is tape off around the badges, then dip the tooth brush in the acetone and start scurbing the black paint that is on the badges will come right off. Then when it is all off. Use qutips to get into those hard places where the brush did not remove the paint. Then when you completely removed the paint, use the windex to polish the badge up. To do all 5 it took me 45 minutes.

Total cost is around 25 dollars.

Default Thanks BC

One other way is to do all the steps BC said but you can use Brake Fluid too!

And this would be the expensive way http://billetbadges.com/ Still trying to convince the wife I need them for D.O.T. regulations. She's not going for it.
