Great question, I did the Red "S" first obviously and only masked around 6-8 inches, I ended up wiping down the whole back end. The good news is it whipes off very easily with a Mico Towel. When I did the Carerra I brought out some newspaper and taped 18 inches or so around it. It does drift pretty good when you spray it.

[QUOTE=MessyMarvin;10837167]This is where I ended up, I do like the idea of Red Carrera and Black S, I did not think of that until it was to late.
Sooo Easy to do and it Pops so much more. I love it!!!
That looks absolutely great - could you just tell exactly how you removed the letters (dental floss?) and what you used to re-attach them?

That is the best part of Plasti Dip, you do not remove anything, you tape just a sqare around the emblem with paper on each side to stop drift, Spray 4 coats about 5-10 minutes apart, then you let it sit 25-30 minutes and pull it up. It pulls up everywhere except on the emblems.
Google Plasti Dip Emblem and you will get many Video's on how to do it.

Nice job! I hate doing small letters like that with Plasti dip since it will inevitably peel sooner than later unless VERY gently hand washed back there...
(my wheels are plasti dipped and I have an old beater that's FULL dipped). Anyways you did a GREAT job and I hope it lasts for you on those little letters. I wont touch mine because I know what I'm getting myself into with that specific application. On another note, how about some more pics of that sexy white .2!!
