Help me decide: decals on Badlands winch?

[Old Jeeper]

Wasn't sure where to put this, so here it is.

I have a Hydro Blue Jeep, with just little touches of Mojave orange, currently on the recovery/tow hooks. I just installed a Badlands winch, which has BADLANDS across the top/front in silver. These are raised, so I'm pondering having @pixeldecals cut me some custom decals to change the color from silver to orange, so that my recovery "aids" are all orange, both for style but also visibility. Eventually I'd do the hook, too.

Key concern:
- Is it too "Warn-y"? I'm definitely not trying to have a fake Warn here, or pretend the Badlands is a Warn.

How it looks today*:

What it would look like (roughly):

*Yes, I know I'm currently missing the hawse fairlead cover, which is also silver. I'm heading out to find replacement bolts today so I can get that installed.

I say GO FOR IT, I think it looks good

I used a black touch up paint pen from autozone. It is has been on for 2 years. It’s needing a touch up again though. I also used it on my door locks.

this thread reminded me I need to touch them up again.

I think you should use tie dye. .

I'm digging the color match to the hooks pic. It's both a subtle and a nice change.

I need to go to harbor freight and do a crayon rubbing of the logo on the winch or have one of you friendly people help me with that part.

Did this ever happen? I'm looking for the same thing in Gecko green.

Actually I am looking for the fairlead lettering

It happened for the winch itself, not for the fairlead. Possible I could do it for that too, if it is set up in a way that will accept vinyl. I’ll message you to discuss!
