A+ bro

 

HOLY **** IM BUYING THIS ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna do my roof and rims!!!

 

hey guys, did this to my car. with both eyes closed, i braved putting flat black spray paint without masking, and holy crap. IT WORKED!! the overspray peeled up beautifully, and with some mcguiars spray detailer, got the remaining items that did not "peel off".

the emblems were cut nicely. it hugs the curves, so when you peel it up, it will not take it off the emblem. you are also able to peel up the middle with ease. did front, and all back emblems.

next, i did the rims. my god, it worked! overspray lifts off of tires easily, and gives it a nice boost if you clean and spray the inside of the wheel.

all in all, the project turned out great. thanks for the heads up on this!

 

Whats a good product to use to get this plastidip off. Not from the actual parts that i painted but from little bits of plastidip that the wind managed to get all on the side of my car. (by little i mean alot of little bits), rubs off with my thumb with alot of pressure but also manages to rub off my fingerprint. No bueno. Any suggestions?

 

maybe a goo gone? nexttime take extra care in preparing, or dont do it on a windy day

 

Works amazing plastidip is sick I might do my rims I already did my emblems

 

I used this on my rims.
Worked out really nicely for about 4 months.

They're getting kinda dusty now....

cant u just respray them

 

^^you can, you just need to peel the old stuff off first. The more coats you do, the longer it should last

 

awesome post! cant wait to do this! ive been wanting to for a long time but all the work of removing emblems and such didnt seem worth it. and i can peel this off if i decide i dont like it! great idea and great post, thanks!!

 

I did it on my daughters RX8 and it still looks great and has even been through the car wash several times.

 

black out emblems? i thinks thats pretty cool but say you dont like it, you can just peel that "paint" off?

 

Yep, thats the idea.

 

Best way to do it:

Two heavy coats of plasti-dip,
Two coats of black spray paint
and then a coat of clear-coat

= car wash safe!

 

^ for the newbs, that is for RIMS, not EMBLEMS lol dont uses the black spray paint!

Xclusive_40thAnvRx8 : Plastidip is a rubbarized paint formula, it maintains elasticity. So when your bored of it, take your finger nails, and peel that s*&^ off Hope you learned something.

 

if you spray on top of plasti dip with other paint can you peel everything off clean??

 

so here are a couple pics I took with my phone of my blue 8 with this DIY completed.
Sorry for all the dirt lol it need a detail and some touch up for sure but I haven't got around to it lol.

 

I love this thread. Went out and picked up 2 cans from lowes and went to town without even taking them off!! If i do want to debadge whats the easiest way? I just wanna apply a few more coats. Anyone else in here curious to spray their headlights? Lol

 

Sorry for double post i haven't figured how to edit post on mobile web. I have HID's im.wondering if the light would still shine through a plastidip coated headlight?
