Default Fender Badge Poll

I came across some bar and shield tank badges and painted them with a rough texture flat black (Duplicolor truck bed liner.)

I haven't done the tank yet, but was thinking of adding s third badge to the rear fender. It's just laying on there for now, but the material is a soft aluminum that can conform to the shape. I really like the cast iron look of the texture.

Any thoughts either way?

I usually lean against making it a HD logo billboard... I like the simple look more I guess.

personally i would coat it to match the paint so it is a subtle change, either that or gloss black like the rest of your powder work

Agreed. Simpler is better. Didn't you have a paint issue on your rear fender?

Yes, the fender was replaced with factory new.

I got a set of four brand new on EBay, but they are stock 2010 tank badges. I applied the coating. They are normally black with the letters and frame polished metal.

Yes, they come with the tape already on the back.

That's an awesome idea! I voted against it, but color matching it and getting tricky with it would be pretty damned sweet.

Why are you hiding your fender? With that badge and the other thing up there, you may as well paint the whole fender black.

Usually peeps use a badge mounted like that as a way to cover the hole where the dog ***** sparto taillight used to reside. Since the 2013s fender already comes clean, why add stuff back onto it?
