They were taken off with fishing line...No scratches! Went to an automotive paint store and bought some 3m double stick. So far, after 9 mos on the truck, all are still on.

How did your friend get the paint to stick to the chrome? The people that have painted their stock grills had to sand it down to get the paint to stick.

I love the color of your wheels...very unique and very classy.

It's an expensive process. Painting the emblems is far cheaper but the results are fairly different.

it says "199.99" but when you select just the emblem, it says " minus 130.00"

Well, I have had no issues with the badges, but the wheels are being redone as we speak. The paint did lift off and start cracking! They are using an etching primer this time. Won't get them back for a month or so...I hate my stock pizza cutters!
