Exactly what I was looking for even the same roll of 3m vinyl thank you for not rambling about your dog getting married and your ex girlfriend getting ran over...
Dude! I watched someone plasti dip their emblems but this method looks so much cleaner and almost OEM. I am definitely doing this to my Chevy truck! Thanx for the video!
Loove this. So many people are saying oh you can by decals and stuff on the internet blah blah blah. Personally I love the extra work and the look of "I made this". All and all. Nice work dude...
Straight forward and to the point. Thank you. I have a blacked-out Silverado. I think some chrome wrap vinyl on the bowties will tie in really nicely with the chrome accents on the headlights.
Nice..i bought a little can of rustoleum and used my kids water color pain brush and finished front and back in under 10 min..its been 2 years still looks mint..plus paint will last many years
@@KathleenBellDreamingofDIY Do it! I get compliments on them, especially if I go to the Chevy dealer! I'm thinking about how to do the tiny bow ties that are on the rims. And the one on the steering wheel. !!!
So much better! Apparently they started with that cheezy gold filling in 2000. Opinion: Nothing says tacky like fake gold. Hope someday someone at Chevy sees how many videos there are with owners going to the effort to change it and gets the message. It doesn't look so great in their ads, either.
"Chevy" HAS seen that people like the black bowties better - but GREED has set in and they now charge $295 to have a black bowtie put on the front and back - TWO HUNDRED NINETY FIVE DOLLARS to make it look just like the ones in this video !!! Thanks, J R Vlogs for showing us how to save $295 !!!
@@chadmark88 All the companies have their logos and markings locked up with copyright and trademarks so no-one legally make them aftermarket without licen$ing and you wind up stuck having to go OEM. I'll bet the stock bowtie isn't cheap, either.
Vinyl is faster no masking and very minimal prep, takes less than 10 min if you know what your doing, and last way longer , I’ve had both and plasti dip requires minimal of 3 coats , vinyl is one layer and you don’t have to wait for it to dry.
Have the same textured type embossed emblems (apparently some come smooth). How’d you get the vinyl to stick to both edges? Because there’s a two tiny indentations, one near the silver and the second is where the textured emblem goes smooth? I can’t get the vinyl to stick to that park
Joneshia did you try using the heat gun while pushing down with your credit card or whatever you’re using to push the vinyl down? That’s what I had to do on mine. Took awhile but finally stuck.
Good vid. Yours just rolled on easy, I got so many wrinkles and no matter how many times I tired it wouldnt wrinkle. 1. Will heating it up take out the wrinkles? 2. Will a high power blow dryer work? Or do I really need a heat gun?
Looks good. Too bad my emblems are on the paint..... No way am I comfortable w/razor blading around Audi rings - will have to go plasti-dip. Prefer your way though as the material looks more durable
Thanks for showing this! It came out great! I just did mine as you showed and they look awesome! The factory ones are stupid expensive, this is a great alternative.
@Alexx Yes ! It stays on perfect. I have had it on my 2018 for 5 years now . Trading the truck for a '24 GMC next week , and will be looking to black out the GMC emblems
I have friends who have done it. If you run through a car wash once a week, his lasted a year with 3M film. Another friend only hand washes his, and still going strong. They did at the same time. Hope that helps.
Did you ever get to trying it? I just bought the same stuff, iron on vinyl from circut. Trying to do my badges so wish me luck and let me know if you have any luck:)
Looks good. Thanks for the video. I'm gonna do mine with carbon fiber vinyl and a red outline. Probably gonna paint the whole thing red and then do the vinyl.
Charles Provance did you do yours yet in the black and red? Was actually thinking about doing the same thing! Just curious how yours turned out and if you liked it. Ordered my carbon fiber vinyl and waiting for it to come in the mail
Short and to the point.... thank you. So many videos have so much extra that you do not need. This was spot on.....

This was the best tutorial on this subject. Worked great on my Blazer EV. Thanks!

just ordered the same wrap bcause this video. preciate it man
Thank you for a great video. I just received my gloss orange vinyl and I can't wait to do this to my two emblems.
I'm hoping to put orange vinyl on my orange Trailblazer's bow ties!

@Jane Doe I am looking at those too!! Good luck!
Wow, totally impressed, you did an excellent job and it looks like the factory. Many thumbs up👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing from Nova Scotia
Appreciate the video. How did this wrap hold up overtime?
Looks clean 🔥
My daughter did this for my Christmas present and so far it is holding up great!!!
Holy crap! I can’t believe this cost so much at the dealership!
Thanks I’ll never pay for this again.
Looks great!
Definitely will be doing this. Going to do mine in Chevy blue.
Looks really nice
AWESOME JOB
Great video no music
This helped my husband alot. Thanks!
How long does it last on there before you have to redo it. Especially if you take your vehicle through the car wash.
Did you use heat transfer vinyl or sticker vinyl?
Awesome video! I hope it works on my truck!
Nice. Clean. Will do. Thank you!
So like will you put a link in the description to the wrap that you used? I'm definitely doing this!
Think he is using vvivid lil wraps for emblems
I used an old toothbrush to get down in the edges to get the dirt loose and then used a card to get down in there.
Nicely done. Takes some patience, I’m sure, but I’ll be doing this soon.
Nice job, thank. I do this looks nice.
Hey, where did you get the material?
how durable it is? will it wipe off when pressurewashing?
I had my doubts, nice!
im trying to do a black trim package on my 2008 silverado and was preparing to pay 50 bucks for new emblems, this is gonna save me some serious money
How durable is it? With washing, highway driving etc?
Can some please answer me this question!! How does it hold up in the long run? After washing it and different weather conditions?
Link for that specific vinyl please
Great video thanks man
Do they make the vinyl in gloss black?
Well done. Thank you.
Thanks for the video, it's very helpful. Have a quick question, instead of using a heat gun would a hair dryer be suffice?
Yes most definitely
Where did you buy the black film?
Amazon its just black vinyl wrap
where did you get these products if you don’t mind
How long has this last for you? Has it gotten messed up?
Thank you 😊.. it's was great help
Does it peel or ware off? Or if it rains will it get damaged?
What the Chevy bow tie texture? If so, How did you get it not to see the texture?
More power and God Bless, Thank you for this video.
nice job thank you for the up load
Great job nice info
Please give us the amazon link of the vynil.
Cool vid dude
I want to know if doing this, whenever you wash the car it’s not going away?

More people probably don't change it and just leave it alone
Finely as of 2019 no huge bow ties in the front and back of the Silverado’s

Does this work with red? I want red bowties for my black Equinox.
Amazing incredible 10/10
Nice job, well done. You have any ideas if a 2006 Silverado LT size front grill bow tie is same size as a 2018?
I think they are relatively the same I have raped and older 2005 one and it was actually easier that the newer ones
What wrap did you use
Plasti dip works better, faster & no cutting required. Just peel away for a perfect edge.
Less material waste too
Doesnt it come off?
@@dmf2990 Nope. Mine has been on for 5 years and through many car washes.
@@dmf2990 If you apply it correctly you won't have any peeling

@@HiiiGHLIFE1 I am guessing he is using thinner vinyl? I use VViViD vinyl wrap and was having trouble getting it to stretch inside those grooves too.
Nicely done
How well does that hold up in car washes?? Severe weather?
It's permanent vinyl. Holds up great.
Thanks!!
Do I need a heat gun? Or can I get away with a hair dryer?
You deserve more subscribers than what you have 👍like the video!
Dude you rock
thanks
Great Vid, 👍👍👍👍
Now I can do my own ..GREAT VIDEO!
Thanks man
Would glossy permanent cricket vinyl work?
Yep!
Nice dog!
can you leave a link to the wrap you bought?
The wrap I bought isn’t on amazon anymore for some reason but if you go on amazon and look up matte black car wrap and some should pop up!
Professional, the best apresentation
Nice!

If you heat it up and stretch it it will take out the wrinkles and a blow dryer could work too
@@jrvlogs9654 Heat it up, pull it off, stretch it then press it on again?
JR VLOGS good stuff man, you know where I can get some of that vinyl?
Nice
You can buy pre made pre fit stickets off ebay for cheap
How long did it hold up? Or it’s still going strong ?
Held up for about a year then I took it off to change the color of it I ended up wrapping it white as of now
JR VLOGS Thank you man !!!!
No problem

Does it stay on?

I have had it on my 2018 for 5 years now .
Trading the truck for a '24 GMC next week , and will be looking to black out the GMC emblems
Hey man what about the rain or water? Does affect?
No if you prep the surface good enough and make sure all the corners adhere properly than you will be fine
Will a hairdryer work in place of the heat gun?
Can you do this with a Toyota badge
Dude that credit card tip !
X-CELL-LANT JOB
looks really good. how has the film held up over time?
I have friends who have done it. If you run through a car wash once a week, his lasted a year with 3M film. Another friend only hand washes his, and still going strong. They did at the same time. Hope that helps.
What’s the material and where did you buy it?
Vinyl and he said Amazon.
How does it look now, being two years old? Any issues?
Yea after about a year and a half it starts peaking but I just redid it
nice
Do you think it will be easy to do all the chrome badges ? Or just easier to de badge and put the black ones ?
Do not use peel and stick for all emblems. Plastic up is your best way to go.
How to remove the black sticker if we want to switch back to Original Gold ??
Just peels off.
It looks better gold.
I'm gonna try a mate black on the whole bowtie
Ehh...it's OK. Matt black is kind of old school trend. I went with the gloss carbon fiber vynl wrap for added dimension depth. Which looks way cooler
I just tried it and the gold shows around the sides. It's shit
car u use a blow dryer ?
Yes that would work!
I bought the front & back OEM black bowtie emblems, so much nicer than vinyl
Pure GM quality...a one year old truck! Does this work on rust, too?
no link ?
Easier as well.
Could I use my Cricut vinyl?
I’m sure long as the adhesive is good idk why you can’t
