Default Well I did my wheels...what next?!

Well I did my wheels and figured, why not do the rear emblems? Chrome no more! They came out almost body color.


Gives it a 'stealth' look IMO. Diggin it!

Looks great! Do you just peel the plastidip off the paint? Does it not come off the emblems when you start to peel it away?

If you apply a properly thick coat, the oversprayed plasti dip just breaks away at the edge of the lettering. Sometimes you have to use something like a pic to get the break from the lettering started.

That looks fantastic. One of the best subtle mods I've seen. Kudos!

How do you get it out of the "P" and the "O"?

Mine pulled up from the "E" okay, but I needed to carefully trace inside the P , O, and R with a toothpick. That took care of it. Also did 3 coats 15 min apart. It's still on after months and many washes, fun stuff. Nice going OP! sent with iOS using Rennlist

Thanks everyone! Yes, I used a few toothpicks to help 'break' the edges and then very carefully peeled it up!

LexVan: that cracked me up! LOL. Since it is not permanent, I was not that nervous. Mess it up, peel it off!
