Started removing the emblems for de-blinging this morning. Began with the front removal and sanding. I am using a Rust-O product that states that it will give a hammered dimple look (for metal/plastic applications, we shall see if it works on plastic). Now on the 3rd coat and am bored waiting for it to dry, have already waxed and buffed the truck, vacuumed the house, and caught up on mud threads. Thus the post.
At this point it looks like cast iron that has been coated, black with dark gray dimples (similar to a cook top grate or BBQ grill top).
I will take photos later, maybe. This may turn out to be a what not to do post. If not, all emblems including the wheel caps will get the treatment.
As is the norm, my wife thinks I'm stupid (she may be correct this time).
More later.
