Thanks AustinB for the custom Badge. Looks great.

This was all done with aerosol paint from Touch Up Paint and Accessories | AutomotiveTouchup
I'm blown away how well the orange matches my paint.

Of course it was a lot of work. Lots of wet sanding, painted, re-painting, taking the honey comb section off. Painting it separate.

I realized I need a paint booth. hahah

2 Huge Thumbs Up! That Turned Out Really Well! Nothing like doing a project like this to give your Ram a different personality then every everyone elses and it turns out looking this good! Great Job!

Looks awesome! You added a lot of depth to that grille painting it the way you did. Looks menacing!

I've been using their touch up paint for a number of years and have always been satisfied with the "match".

Awesome man! I got some touch up paint for mine, but after looking at what all needs to be done, there's no way I can do it myself. I gotta live with the plasti-dip till I can take it to a paint shop.

Still, that looks bad ass man. Major props to you for tackling such a job!
