If you strip the chrome, you may lose the smooth/roundness of the surface. So when you look at them, the light never hits the same as when they were original.

I've painted the Toyota grille emblem, the V8 grille piece and a TUNDRA emblem from the 07 truck. All look good in their new sheen.

Debadge is best I hate Chrome. I kept the door emblem's but the rest are history include that lame Chrome Bumper peice.My moto is simple clean unbroken line's. emblem's are tacky method's and how many badges do you need Tundra, 4wd Drive, Iforce v10 (kidding) Limited SR5 this that
