To make a long story short, I have an RC truck and the chrome on the wheels is chipping off, so instead of wasting money and having them "rechromed" I was doing some looking on the web and found a video on how to remove chrome...sorry he kind of talks alot

But they also have a video on how to dye the plastic. They are saying that it is better than paint because if you chip it, it remains the dyed color and I would assume that it's more permanent than just scuffing and painting. The only thing I could see is the lack of UV protectant (Clear coat) might not be good. Here's the how to on dying plastic...

Anyways, I thought that I would share this with you guys. If you do use this method please let me know if it works on your emblems. I will be doing this with my RC truck wheels but I'm still not sure if I want to bother doing this with my car's emblems.

Thanks for looking

 

Nice find. Thanks for sharing.

 

No problem

 

Thanks for that video. Im definitely going to dye my emblems all black.

But i got one question...... How do i remove and put back on the emblems.=/

 

I would try a hair dryer or heat gun to loosen the glue and very carefully pry the emblems off. 3M offers double sided emblem tape to put them back on.

just outta curiosity any one tried this yet?
