Painted over those evil sun visor stickers!
I realized I couldn't remove the stickers so painting was the easiest option. 99 cent flat black spray paint from Walmart and blue painter's tape. They appear to have shine in these pictures but once they are reinstalled, they look fine. An easy after work project helped along with some ice cold PBRs! Just do it.

Nice job! Did you just tape off the sticker and paint that or the whole visor?
I plastidip'd mine a few months ago but after grabbing it to move it so many times it's starting to peel. Glad to see someone else has done it and it looks pretty good

I taped around the stickers and covered the rest of the sun visors with plastic newspaper bags, so only the sticker surface was painted.
As for my beverage choice, I tend to go lighter in the summer and when fall comes around I fancy darker and heavier stuff. One of my
favorite quotes is by the late author Robert Parker, "the worst beer I ever had was wonderful"!!

It has been pointed out in other threads that Chrysler changed the visors around the 2010 model year so that the stickers are heat sealed
to the plastic making them downright impossible to scrape off. I was able to easily remove the sticker from the headrail of the soft top by the way.

It really is quite easy to do. Removing the sun visors is a snap. I spent the majority of my time on the project carefully taping along the edges of the stickers
with blue masking tape. I then spray painted with light coats waiting about 15 minutes between coats. Maybe 4 coats in all. I then waited a couple of hours,
removed the tape and plastic bags, and reinstalled in the morning. I am so glad I did this as opposed to attempting to peel away the stickers.
