Has anyone here restored that part of the emblem back to a richer shade of red? What did you use?

 

I used flourescent orange paint pen. i like the orange better than red.

just go to a hobby shop or walmart and buy a paint pen.

 

You know me brandon, I like to keep the looks OEM (except the stripe, haha). I want to keep it red.

Do you have a closeup of your emblem? I'd like to see how it came out for you.

 

no i did them on another truck (93 w250) that we sold about a year back. i haven't done the ones for the current 93 yet they're off right now because the truck is in primer.

 

Yeah i did the same to mine, just cleaned them good and got a red paint marker and went over the letters, it looked a lot better than it did. Can you still buy these emblems from dodge? or are they way pricey?

 

I don't think you can buy them new anymore.

 

i used red modeling paint, clean them up really good or it wont last long. i did see some good looking ones on ebay about a week ago

 

I know of a place where you can get some nice used ones, but they want $75 shipped for the pair. I was considering debadging my truck with a set of gasser emblems, but they were $55 shipped, and there would be a weird unpainted spot where the "cummins turbo diesel" part of the emblem used to be. So, I decided to stick with what I got and make it a little cleaner.

 

hmmm... $3 for a paint marker sounds like a better deal to me, plus they're original

 

Yeah no kidding. I went ahead and bought back my Denny T fuel pin instead. Dam the smoke, full speed ahead!

 

I finally got to the Hobby Lobby and got me a Testors model paint pin in red.

Will edit my post with a pixor later.

 

I had one missing on my truck when i bought it and the wife wanted to get me one for my b-day so i called my local dodge garage and they sent me to two more parts warehouses and finaly got one in Baton Rouge but it was $75.00 shiped for a brand new one.

 

Thats too much money for me. I found a guy online who sells old Dodge NIB and junk parts and he had a pair for 55 shipped that looked good. He also had a pair of gasser W250 (No line that says CTD obviously) that I really wanted. But I was afraid there would be a weird looking spot underneath where it hadnt been repainted.

Anyways, here is a pic of the refurbishment.

 

Looks good but your tire treads are weak John


Just kiddin

 

Looks great John! Doesn't match the pinstripe now though... JK!!!!! (I think the stripe looks better in black)
