How To: Ford Oval Color Change

[flyingbrick]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but Will this work on a 2009 emblem? I wanna get one of them on my tailgate to make my truck look newer and I'd like to paint it black to match my rims and future taillights

Yes, but it is a lot bigger, so just be a little more careful when removing it from the base/ and heating it.

As long as it isnt a gel emblem it will work. you can tell if its gel if you can leave your finger nail imprint in it for a few seconds.

Did all Ford tractors used to be red? I always thought that they where blue

tried this today on my '00 mustang.... failed miserably. i tried using the old emblem instead of a new one, and it just sort of self-destructed. the lettering didn't come off with the rest of the center section, and it just basically sucked.


ordered in a new one though.... gonna try it again.

Good luck on the new one! I destroyed about 6 of them to finally get one right

 

[happster]

SIX? you're kidding me. SIX OF THEM? what happened? did they break in half or come apart or what?

 

[Casper98]

2 broke and 2 were the wrong type of emblems and 2 ended up looking like crap lol

 

[happster]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwww. that is terrible. you made it look so simple though....

 

[Casper98]

practice helps lol

Went digging through my box of emblems I snagged at work when doing the cash for clunkers, just so happens I've got one the blue ovals, I think I'll give it a shot, cool write up !
