Stupid exterior mod question

leemj84 · 03-27-2019, 02:11 PM

Anyone have any success with vinyl overlay for emblems? I tried one from Haru Creative that I got off amazon, but the fit wasn't perfect so I removed them.

Anyone have better experience?

Plastic dip always worked well for emblems. Very easy to paint and then rip excess off with smooth lines.

Pretty much applies to all cars/emblems. Just did my model emblem this past weekend.

Nice, much cheaper than IND black emblems which are $125 for my car.

woah $125? I'm sure yours have better finish, and glossy vs matte.

The pride we have when we see our emblems are different though.

Plastidip is a bitch to get off after a few years. I used to remove it and redo it yearly so it didn't get brittle. The more you use, the easier it is to get off. I used to do 8-10 light coats.

No cutting needed, just pull excess away and it breaks at the seams.

"Used to" because I don't have badges now!
