Finally got time to paint my spare set of exhaust tips. Painted with a glossy 2k spray.
My current wrapped ones still look good but they are starting to peel in a few places (my own fault), can't wait to get these on!

 

I blacked out the letters on my son's S60CC this past weekend. Tried Plasti-Dip. The more coats the better it seems. It's easy and you can experiment to see if you want to go with black (or other color) letters. It peels off when you are ready to change back.

It looks great Chris! So you dip them on the car rather than removing the letters?

No worries, once you get used to it it actually looks better IMO

 

Here's some de-badged, before and after the exhaust Tips were painted and put on...

You really need to level the badges...
How did you paint your exhaust tips? Mine are wrapped now and I'm not completely sure on how to approach them with paint. I have bought an extra set of tips to play around with but I've heard that the chromed finish might give you some headache.

That is too bad. Was hoping to see it debaged. Well, if you get a chance post it. I was thinking about it but my 10y old daughter said no no we drive a Volvo and keep it as is. She loved the factory and the museum. Even tho she got yelled at for sticking her Sputnik out of the car train while touring the factory. She loved the sparks from the robots. Go figure[emoji18]

I don't use a cellphone and gave my Nikon to my grandson, so it's actually not a simple request.

 

Ahh that also explains the cranky responses. Sheesh.

 

You got to be posting more photos. I want to get fooled as well.

Do you actually need a photo to show you what a debadged tailgate looks like?

Is there something wrong with that? Sounds like a simple request.

 

This was the only company I could find when I was looking to do the same thing.

I considered having my letters dipped and then put back on, but didn't think it was worth the hassle or money, and now it's completely de-badged I actually like it better...
It confuses the hell out of people, LOL and I love it!!!

 

Couldn’t find any black emblems on the market (there are some carbon fiber-print wrapped ones), so just painted them

Jesus who are these guessers?

One of the Maserati guesses came from the owner of an independent Ferrari shop. The Panamera guess came from a car enthusiast who was partly fooled by the fact that it was sitting next to our Boxster.

 

Maybe those folks are just trying to stroke your ego a bit...

 

This is an off the wall idea, but, my local body piercing shop can dip the surgical steel piercing stuff into an anodizer and make it shades of grey or other light colors. If you can buddy-buddy up to one, or similar industries, maybe the parts could be dipped.

 

I totally debadged my V90. As a result I have had several guesses that it was a Maserati, and yesterday somebody identified it as a Panamera.

 

Did you just remove the model number or also the word VOLVO?

Any pics you can share?

 

Volvo doesn’t offer black badges. I wrapped mine with black 3m window trim vinyl

 

I don't know of any black replacements. I dipped mine.

 

Try plastidip?
