They buy our recyclable plastic for pennies, then make shit for us and charge hundreds!

This looks fantastic! What color red/paint code did you use to get the flowtie inner/outer to match? Thanks so much!

Used the factory paint code for the body color. They used the Vin # to pull it up.

I just plasti dipped mine last week, I think it came out good!

Looks really good Eczr2! I swapped out the chrome badges this past weekend and need to tackle the Bowties next. Think I am going to do exactly what you did, all Black on back and black and red on front.

How has the plastidip held up since you have done it? Any tips for separating the chrome and red on the flowtie?

Plastic dip holds up great. Make sure you have a clean surface. Spray the entire flowtie. You can peel the plasti dip from the red. Masking only the areas outside the flowtie. Two light coats and two medium wet coats. Push plastic bags behind the grill so you don't spray radiator.

Lol, Old thread got resurrected. FWIW I did the same treatment to my HD bowtie. It comes off basically the same way even though it's a fake flowtide.

Did you simply pry it off? Is that double face tape holding it?

Both the 1500 and the 2500 bowties have plastic tabs holding them on. You can see them in the photo. I just pryed mine off with plastic pry bars. Just kind of work your way around it one side at a time.

Thank you so much for this info! I have been trying to figure out what to do with mine. I'm still trying to figure out how or what to do with the chrome (Allison DURAMAX) on the hood

NP! Yeah that's the only thing I haven't changed. You can find the Duramax ones online already blacked out. Mine is the gasser, so it's a different allison badge on the hood. I was going to get them painted also, but I just never did. Since there is some chrome in the mirror lights and the headlights. I've kind of just left the hood badges. They don't really look bad or out of place to me.

I may do some of the blackout today honestly. I have not found the correct Allison duramax badges online. I did order some from Amazon and they were the incorrect size. If I knew exactly how the hood moldings came off I would just remove the molding and plasti dip them.

Where do I find them blacked out ?
