I read that plasti is best with 6-7 coats. More durable AND easier to peel off if needed. Great video and thanks for making this.

If done right plastidip is a cheap inexpensive way to protect your car and also will last a long time.. Mine lasted 6 years and hardly any pealing. Just need to touch up and you're good.. HUGE TIP: Before you spray put the can in a bowl/bucket with hot water for 20 minutes prior for it to come out smooth and even.. It truly makes a big difference because my first few wheels I didn't and then watched a few videos and did the others and was happy I did.

That's a great tip. Most of the things I've plasti dip has lasted for years. Really cheap mod to black out things on car or truck.

I was lucky my truck came with black emblems from factory 😊

maybe you could spray some glossifier on them. That’s what i would do depending on the color of the truck.

Dont put the tape so close to the emblems. It will give you more to hold on to when youre peeling the excess off. ALWAYS pull up and away from the edge of the emblem and the Plastidip will break off at the edge just like you want it to.

I wouldn’t say he’s cheap. I have a leased vehicle So I did the emblems / like this / so when I return the vehicle I can peel it off and return it without being charged for changing the emblems. So he’s not cheap/ he’s smart. The cost of one can / vs- buying the emblems shows me he’s smart … just sayin 👍🏼

For two blacked out GMC badges and a blacked out Sierra badge it's 150 to 180 bucks. Vs 15 to 20 and they look identical. Easy decision. Just bought some plasti dip today

How long did i take the whole process of spraying the emblems?

@Michael_Tran

Usually around 5-15 minutes...depending how many coat you want on it.

It DOES last but it won't look good! My black grill is hanging on for dear life, it's chipped and faded, even using the latest ultra gloss or whatever it's called. Wheels still have some gloss but have tears.

You can use fishing line and wedge it under the emblem to slowly slide back and forth to remove the adhesive and remove emblem from car. After this, paint the emblem and use emblem adhesive to stick it back in place. Way cleaner result.

It will work like a charm! You wil have to clean really well the area, lay 6 to 8 "heavy" coats and most importantly peel of the tape when the last coat is wet to have a sharp line.

Hmm, it appears you left some of the plasti in between the letters/numbers. Come on now, you got to git rid of that bro. Otherwise it’s like leaving food/meat pieces hanging in between your teeth and when you smile people will get grossed out.

I mean it seems like a ton of work taping it off, I got a full kit and tailgate insert for like $35. I suppose this is a way but I value my time a bit more than that! Also you can't really do this on the tailgate as there is nothing to spray. If your doing just the emblems I would personally just buy the kit for $15-$20 and be done in mintues and if you ever wanted to go back it's simple. You know some kid is going to have some black spray PAINT and do this with a ton of overspray that he won't notice before it's too late 😂

@J Mabs509 Yea mate I agree it's the cheapo way of doing things tbf, especially on a nice truck 😂 But it can also be done cleanly with about 3 minutes prep work if done properly.

​@jmabs5096 It works well when there is no cap/maskover available. Bought an expensive suv with chrome parts that didn't have any any matte options. Took 5 minutes to tape and about the same to coat. Looks perfect and took no time. The overspray literally wipes off easier than dust. And if some kid is doing this without using the proper materials then he probably shouldn't be painting a car.
