a little touch up.

ljvsnyder · May 7, 2012

Doing some touch up work from a hit-n-run accident, decided to break out the plastidip and painted the grille and front emblem as well.

took a little time to add a shorty antenna as well.

Looks great! I'm getting the itch to paint my Ram's head.

nice work

Yeah looks good.
You should plastidip the base around the antenna as well maybe, to black it out completely.
Thumbs Up!

ljvsnyder · May 7, 2012

yeah, the antenna base started looking like that pretty early on. going to see if chrysler will warranty it. I have hit it with enough armor all that it shouldn't be turning colors.

That's what armor all does!

Mine did it too....just hit it with some plasti-dip. Whenever I decide to, I will.

nice

I sanded down my antenna base and painted it to match my truck. That's an alternative if you don't want to go the plasti-dip route.

those emblems look good!

ljvsnyder · May 10, 2012

thanks everyone for the comments. I also through a clear coat on the emblem which gives it a bit of shine. Also takes away the plastic/rubbery feel that you get with plasti dip. I am thinking about trying to mix up some plasti dip that is close to matching the mineral grey bumpers and to the horizontal slats on the grill. Right no it is kind of just plain. Would love to do RC grill inserts that leaves the center bar, don't want to loose the ram head. Going to buy a new rear emblem and try to do the same on the back. Don't want to remove the rear until I know it comes apart like the front.

quietpeen · May 10, 2012

from what i have read, the rear does not come apart

ljvsnyder · May 10, 2012

That makes doing the changes hard, not impossible. If not could always reverse the look and do mineral grey ram head with black background. A little bleach should remove the chrome coating.

I know my back emblem came apart. But it's not as easy. It was plastic welded in a couple spots.

How does the antenna base come off. I am thinking painting it is the best route. Tried several restore kits and nothing has worked.

Well, decided to change my emblem colors. Went with MG ram head and pxr back plate.287900[/ATTACH]"]

That looks great

ljvsnyder · Aug 21, 2012

Thanks, took several coats of paint, and has 8 coats of clear. If it flakes like the last color scheme it Will be custom billet badges. Starting on a rear emblem. Got it scuffed and primed, now i have to get it masked to do the two tone color to match.

a little touch up.
