Tried something different with the badges

What do you think? Its just spray paint but theres like 9 coats. If it doesnt hold up ill think of something else, for now i like it. You cant really see what it says on the Cummins emblem so im thinking about getting some charcoal paint and painting the words. While i was at it i cleaned off the tailgate which i like a whole lot. The rams head is two pieces and im thinking about painting the chrome part charcoal and leaving the back part black. Anyway, heres the pics.

I think it looks sweet. Not super fond of the blank tailgate, I like the heavy duty badge. But I love the painted badges. What kind of paint did you use?

looks nice.

I thought about doing that and leaving the sides chrome. Kind of a chrome shadow look. But I took them all off.

I like the black "Ram 2500" but I think I'd leave the Cummins logo stock. Then it would look really sweet! Hmmmm.... wonder how it would look on my silver truck?

Have you thought of using your trucks touch up paint to fill in the "Turbo diesel" that would look sweet!!!!

I am planning to take the badges off the back and then reapply the "Heavy Duty" badge, however I plan to measure and space it out in a way that it kinda looks like the way the back of the Infinity G35's look where the badge is spaced out. I'll post up some pics when I am done. BTW, like the change in the emblem color, howvere it wouldn't work on mine b/c I wash it too much
