PlastiDip Emblems and Grille

So after sweating in the Florida heat and a lot of patience to remove and clean the emblems, I was able to save some money and PlastiDip them instead of buying the blacked out ones. Also did the grille. One suggestion I have is not to waste your time masking the grille if you're going black, just remove it and spray it.

Getting the rims blacked out next week at the dealer (not using PlastiDip on rims).

How much did this cost?



What method do they use to do it?



Can you post a close up of the finish, (if you didn't just get OEM black rims that is)

THANKS !



BTW plasti dip looks awsome GJ

They did it for free, I negotiated that into my deal. I'll take close ups and post them later. I'm not sure exactly how they painted them, but it's not PlastiDip

I think you just remove the nuts from inside the hood. each "grill" insert has them.
Yeah each insert has 2 nuts that you loosen up. Just open the hood and you'll see them. Pretty easy, they just pop right out. Just don't over tighten them, they can crack easily.

depends on brand and coats




my neighbor has a flat pink plastidipped mustang. it was done when new in 2009 and still looks great today. entire car is dipped, except the non painted parts. I think there are different qualities of dip. then theres the # of coats.

question for you plasti-dip ppl. last week or so, I've been experimenting with spray on rubber sealant, like flex-seal you see on TV, but a diff. brand. was looking for some brush on stuff too but didn't see any at the hardware store so wound up also using some liquid tape, that black goo you use to insulate wiring sometimes. my question: is plasti dip ever used for non-cosmetic purposes? like sealing cracks to prevent water seepage or insulate wiring?
