Is the tailgate badge one piece? Or can it be separated like the grill badge? I've read yes and no.

One piece. However there is a guy in eBay who sells paint matching stickers that makes it look 2 piece. Adds the truck color i, between the shield and ram.

Yea Drummin went through him, I believe. Canada based.

I found emblems on ebay that are one solid piece (replacement) with color options, not vinyl decals.

How crazy would it be to carefully pour some white (or any color) liquid flex seal over the black? Would it not just dry white and be durable?

I've been thinking about pulling off my badges and painting them instead of relying on the plasti-dip. I might be looking into it.

The front one can be done because it is a 2 piece... Kind of a PITA to get off, apart, and back together though. Unless you're talking about just painting the whole thing?

I really want to keep my chrome ram, but change the black to white. I wish I knew what they use to do the gel inlay looking stuff.
Like this, but white..

Wondering if some white liquid rubber could just be poured in there...?

(For the record, those are poorly done.. But a good idea)

Not one suggestion? I tried calling hobby shops around here. No luck with their knowledge.. Maybe the only option is to somehow ask someone who does this?
