Thanks for making this video…gave me the push to DIY this instead of buying one already done. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Happy to help! It’s a pretty straight forward process and definitely DIY-able! Haha

[@shawnzavoda2050]

If you are finding that the paint is peeling off over time, it is recommended to use an adhesion promotor (Bulldog is one) over plastic parts.

[@golf5555555]

Bro EXACTLY what I was looking for. Well Done!

[@nobodyhome2318]

The emblems came out nice!🎉

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thank you very much!

[@kawh8719]

Wow, the finished badge looks amazing, thanks for the video!

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it 😊

[@markyohn6706]

@@AndrewDoesLife i have 2011 f150 but my badges don't come apart. can i buy 2020 f150 badges and take them apart like you did and paint them. i also have tailgate camera. thanks. nice work

[@dlg5485]

Well done! Did you do your side vents as well? I'd love to see that process too. I'm waiting for my factory ordered 2023 XLT regular cab short bed to come in and that truck comes covered in chrome which I can't stand. Body color matching all of the chrome (with satin black accents) will be the very 1st mod I do...well the badging and grill, at least. I'll probably have the bumpers done professionally since they are much larger and can't hide my flaws.

[@timrandall4659]

If you decide to use a drill again use a drill bit about the size of the rivet head and just give it a quick burst from the drill head will snap right off. Dremel works good too tho.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Hi Tim! That’s a good point, but after I butchered the first logo I’m a little hesitant to use a drill bit again on these fragile little logos haha

[@godinesj77]

2:05 time travel does exist.

[@calvinvanderheide7794]

When you did the back badge, how was it to take off? And the 3m sticky tape, did you reuse it or have to apply new?

[@rylg.4442]

Can you tell apart the difference between the lead foot gray paint you use from the original? Thanks

[@ryandubyah2345]

Thanks for this video, I’ll be working my emblems the same way on my ‘21 XLT Sport!

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Heck yeah!

[@cottoneyedarren]

Do you have to use primer if you are a using fusion paint. I thought the fusion paint will fuse with the plastic and I am thinking the primer will create a bearer.

[@fifefan1]

My 2006 F-150 emblem is a single piece, does not come apart. Paint recommendations for something I can apply with a brush?

[@josesierrajr.5240]

Nice video man and great instructions thanks!

[@nathenjohnson2113]

Do know if they make ford carbonized gray for 2022 f150

[@musselmanmedia5236]

underrated video

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@samuelrojas6500]

That came out great!!!

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thanks Samuel! I think so too 😊

[@Red8675309666]

where did you get the fill letters from on your tail gate? looks amazing sir.

[@youcanthide004]

Bro... Nailed it‼

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thank you!!

[@alexisawyer325]

Can u paint the badges on a 1997 f150

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I don’t know if those break apart like the newer models do. I would imagine older models have a one piece badge that would be more difficult to break apart and paint

[@VladmirVorkeshky]

Thank you. Great video. Keep the videos coming you are going to blow up. The quality is there

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thanks Vladimir! I appreciate that

[@brandonfischer565]

How about doing one with a rear camera?

[@PirateMTH_ToddH]

Great... Another project. ;) Good video. Thanks.

[@daver8298]

Awesome video. Great job!!

[@prestongrobe4249]

Did you sand the emblem pieces before spraying the paint?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Yea I did. I believe I mentioned that in the video, I used 220 grit

[@AbdulKhan-fg8ig]

Just curious if you’ve got the link for the clear coat. I can’t find them on Amazon.

[@jonathanmathews3983]

AMAZING video!!! Thank you very much for sharing!!!

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thank you Jonathan!! I’m glad you liked it

[@noahbrooks6510]

Dang, that’s sharp!

[@Phantom_Anthem]

How would you recommend going about painting the Ford lettering red but painting the rings that are on that part black. Wanting to do an all black emblem with just the lettering red

[@RegularAssUsername]

He just broke down the entire process. Where were you?

[@connorkennedy7460]

Follow the same steps paint the whole thing red. Then use painters tape over the letters and spray black then clear coat

[@TsunamiBob]

@Andrewdoeslife, I was going through this process... all was proceeding as normal. I used Painter's 2x gloss black on the chrome. Glass like finish, was very happy. Then I sprayed the Spectral Paints Clear Coat and it totally ruined the finish and looks all bubbly. It went on the other parts just fine. Have you ever heard of that happening?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Hey Bob, unfortunately, I have heard of that happening. Sometimes different brands don’t interact well with each other or if you apply the clear coat before the base is dry it’ll bubble up like that. Sorry to hear about that 😔👎🏻

[@TsunamiBob]

@@AndrewDoesLife ugh. Thanks for responding. Wonder if I can sand it back down and start over

[@tompatterson436]

Do you have a part number for these emblems. I’ve looked all over, and am unable to find on. Want to get one and see how it goes. Mines a 2021. Thanks.

[@cdvaight]

Take your VIN to your dealer and have them look it up.

[@mikem.7167]

Nicely done!

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thanks Mitch! For my first time ever trying something like this I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! 👍🏻

[@stuartlittle22]

Looks great!

You never put it on though?

[@jrhodes843]

Game changer.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Haha thank Jonathan! Hope it helps !

[@marvingutierrez673]

Looks good

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thanks Marvin! Lowkey think the badge looked the best when it had the primer on it 😂

[@abimaelpatino7892]

😎👌super nice thanks for sharing your experience. 😁👍they look bonitos .

[@gman0812]

Do you sell them?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

No sir

[@Ac3Ss]

Nice bro

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thanks dude! I am definitely going to be doing more projects like this in the future!

Good detailed video!! how long did this whole process take you??

[@ChezJohn]

That is so bad @$$ bro. I knew there had to be a way those came apart. I have a white 04 F150, what colors would you recommend for mine, should I do a “tuxedo” black & white, or maybe some grey since my interior is grey? Man thanks so much for this, I’m your newest subscriber as of now lol.

[@tommylee3515]

AWESOME!!!

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thank you!

[@BSTRONG-bx1vn]

I tried to do my 2011 F-150 XLT emblems LOL Fail! They were cheap and don’t separate…

[@marksanders6069]

2014+ separate, 09-14 do not

[@dontblameme6328]

Why? The classic Ford badge is... Classic.

[@jadedjay7861]

That's pretty extensive

[@razor0576]

I'm just gonna plasti dip mine, much easier lol

[@AndrewDoesLife]

lol! Definitely way less time and labor intensive for sure!

Your bursty technique of paint application was both painful and terrifying to watch.
