Blacked emblems w/ Plasti-Dip





This stuff is great, goes on without sanding, comes out smooth. You can also peel it off like latex if you mess up (had to do it once for the trunk button). Waterproof, doesn't fade, and can apparently take on a power washer (washed it today). Best part? The can only cost $6 at home depot.

lol, I'm a newb with PB man. I tried to do the swirly effect on my plates. I re-saved the pic on PB, but the link keeps going to the original. I just didn't want to post my plates.... I don't really know why I can't, but everyone else swirls 'em, so why not. I'll attach it instead, cool?

So far, it comes off like latex.. really easy. I'm not sure how it would bond to and detach from harder materials, but the more coats you put on, the harder it is to pick at, and peel off. Awesome stuff, though, I would imagine the wheels would be so damn tedious to do. It has like a hard rubbery feel to it when its all said and done. Haven't tried to put a clear coat over it either....

Its this spray-on stuff that acts as like a protectant, and a finish as well, with a flat black result. The stuff adheres to anything, even without sanding. And from my experience, it peels off when you want it to come off. But its able to withstand a power washer, that's for sure. Picked it up at Home Depot for $6.

"Distance pics"

Sorry for the delay, but here's the other pics. Definitely going to get the RA tails and wheels soon so it all comes together. Not sure if I want to go the CF route though....
