Has Anyone Painted The Lettering On The Side Or Rear Of Their Viper??

[DodgeViper01]

Has anyone does this? I have a Sapphire car and was looking to get this done. I was thinking of either red or chrome. Any pictures would be greatly appricated.

Thanks in advance

P.S Here is an example of what I am talking about:

You can just buy chrome lettering or red lettering i believe.

Keith,

Back when I bought my '01 I decided to do the same. I looked into painting the side/rear scripts but did not because we could not get the paint to adhere correctly to the plastic. Just ordered the color I wanted(black) and had them put on. As a matter of fact I did the same thing with the SRT.
Be careful taking the old ones off. Pre-heat a little and dental floss works great on getting them off the car. Others on the site probably have better ways to remove.

I got my chrome letters from westcoast vipers.

Same here, chrome from West Coast. They are not raised. Personal preference surely.

Warm the old letter up and use dental floss. Works like a charm. Some of the guys take the raised letters and put them on the sill covers. Looks smashing but requires patience. Some of my letters broke upon removal.

I took my side lettering all off and painted them with photochromic (color shifting) paint. But it didn't look that great against the blue paint and so I went with the chrome lettering in the end.

Don't know about other years, but you can get the Red Letters by purchasing the
97 Red letters and just put them on.

 

[DodgeViper01]

Wow, everyone has an different color. So where can I get these from? Any websites? Prices? Pictures anyone?

Thanks again

The chrome badges/lettering came with the car. You have a 2001 Sapphire Blue? All Sapphire Blue Vipers came with chrome badges.

This is the way to go. Call Chuck and you'll get 20% off and they will be there in a day or two!

Easy to apply as they come pressed between 2 sheets precisely lined up. You just take off the bottom and press on, while the top sheet holds them in allignmnet.

I did mine with 24K gold leaf and heavy duty clear coat. Will post some phots if you want.

That's one of the things I liked about the 2002 Metalic Graphite RT/10. The side lettering is already chrome raised. No need to take off and reapply something else...

prodiver:

If you can post the pics that would be great.

Dear King GTS:

The letters that are only on this side are chrome when they come from the factory. I want the back and sides in one color. Leaning more towards red or maybe the chrome.

 

[Yellow Fever]

Keith , my vote goes for the Red..Nice contrast on the Sapphire Blue..IMHO chrome only belongs on wheels.

Cheers

I saw a Viper at Norwalk, red I think that had the rear badging painted Silver.... It looked awesome....I believe it was Jack B or Paul S.

[DodgeViper01]

The contrast looks great. I just think it would be a nice idea. Anyone have any idea the price of this?

 

[Cudaman]

You can't hardly read rear lettering on a Sapphire....Silver would look very good...it matches the rest of the car...not a contrast!!

Cudaman

 

[DodgeViper01]

I will look into it. I just contacted Tators to see what he thinks.

 

[CMilViper]

I agree with Cudaman.....Silver would look much better!

Good luck.

 

[DodgeViper01]

Need to see pictures if ANYONE has them

 

[Cudaman]

Jack B and Paul S are both Ohio VCA members. Here is a link to Ohio VCA

Like prodiver says.. I painted my side and rear 'Viper' deep blue, and
the 'GTS' silver. Acrylic paint and clear coat. matching under hood
liner snake ( with red snake, blue area around, silver background )

F355, have you found anything out. I think continuing with the chrome on the back would look pretty sharp, but like someone said just adding badges to the existing location may nake it stick out too much.

Ooooh okay. I see. I see.

Re: Here Are The Prices

So no one offers the silver or chrome rear badges?


Thanks for the info.

Re: Here Are The Prices

Oh yeah they do. Contact Chuck at Tators. They are probably the same price.
