I just did one of my hemi badges I'll be sticking on the grille. At first I was going to do a flat black like the plasti dip but decided I liked the shiny look better for the badge. I retained a little bit of the chrome border so it would have that flair to it. I didnt want the magnum or 5.7 so I covered that all up.

Already been thinking of that. I kinda like the chrome accents. That's why I left the bolts and center cap on the wheels chrome, to help tie everything together. But I may shoot the badges with some Plasti-Dip and if I like it chrome better, then I'll just peel it off!

Oh, and thanks for letting me use YOUR idea

Just about 4 hours. From start to finish, that included putting hte truck on stands and taking off all the tires. Washing and drying the wheels, Taping up all the little bolts on the wheels, then spraying 4 coats with about 15 minutes in between coats, and rotating and putting all the tires back on the truck.

I'd give yourself the better part of the afternoon. Just in case there are any bumps along the way.
