Painted tail gate badge

[Mcfly]

Took apart the tail gate badge and painted it, black, carbonized gray, and blue. Tried to match the lightning blue best I could. Didn't want to pay 400 plus for the ones already done. Planning on doing the light up Ford badge in the front after swapping to the lariat grill.

This is awesome, I have one on order from BFN truck shop, it was $220. Thought about doing it myself, but didnt know how I would match the lightning blue.

220 is not bad, they do great work. Was that just for the tail gate badge?

This is my plan as well, twinsies. Does the light up badge mess with the radio if your using Android auto/apple car play? I've heard it messes with the fm signal which I'm okay with.

yeah im pretty sure it messes with FM, but i solely use android auto, and no issue with that.

This was what I ordered, it was fast shipping and the end product is very OEM quality.

Someone on another thread suggested this. It's a close match but not exact.

Very cool, I'll order the ones for the charge door covers to finish off the look.
