Have you ran your car threw a car wash to see if it has stayed on there? Or would it stay on if you clean your car and rub with soap or does it stay?

 

Tested this out on my front 'M' emblem, and it was as easy as the DIY says... And looks good too.

I'll post some pics this weekend, after I do my trunk emblems. :-)

 

Ive had a pressure washer right in front of it, and it doesnt peel off. Im glad to hear a lot of people like this thread and have had good success with it. Just curious if it would be a good idea to make it a Sticky thread?

 

i think someone should totally try headlights or tail lights!! that way i dont have to.

 

my buddy was trying to paint his silver car white, but the cost would be too high lol but, he sprayed over his side marker in white, and you can still see the light flashing.

 

Thanks, thinking this might be next thing try and do after rb intake and black halo racing ignition, school is kinda taking up a lot if time, but break comeing soon. Any pics of your buddy after he did white out?

 

There's no way you'd see light through the black. You're better off with the paint that's made for that purpose.

 

Best and cheapest method to smoke tailights is using LaminX, dont use that spray on VHL(i think its was its called), if u do it wrong you will ruin your taillights and light will not emit through.

 

Im for sure trying this with any and all surfaces possible when I get back home.


Same situation man.. I'm at school, and I have my RB REVi waiting for me back home.

 

Lol, gotta wait for a weekend of no homework and test and get it put on, mines been ordered, just waiting on delivery

 

nice, im going to pick up some cans this weekend...maybe white?

 

Plati-Dip comes in white?
Learn something new everyday.

 

plastidip comes in Black, White, Red, Blue, Yellow, and Clear

 

Bought some black PlastiDip today. When my black winter wheels come in, I'm doing my emblems. Pics when I'm done. =-)

 

used the pressure washer on the car today (low pressure) and it didn't hurt the emblems at all.

 

I hate how if you plasti-dip your emblems, they dont match the still shiny rotary accents.
And if you plasti dip your accents, you just look retarded lol

 

Finally got around to doing my trunk emblems today. I'm happy with they way they turned out.

 

Did mine last night. They turned out pretty well. I think I'm going to re-do them with a couple extra coats though...

 

Just plasti-dipped my emblems, side markers, and rims for fun. They all turned out really well so Ill post some pictures this week. Its raining pretty hard outside and that didn't affect how the plasti stuck at all. I even drove in the rain and it's still on there perfectly. Oh and I got the REVi on finally

 

^ curious, how well can you see the light on the side markers? I have mine tinted with 3M film, but still wondering...

 

I plasti-dipped everything I could just for fun
Heres the back emblems:
All the emblems were done with two coats, letting dry for about 45 minutes each coat.




I forgot to take a pic of the front emblem, so heres a far away shot when wet sanding my headlights.



Here's what the rims look like after about 3 coats:



Rims and Emblems:



To do the rims all I did was tape off so the plasti wouldn't get on the paint, and then put newspaper behind the rims so the brakes wouldn't get covered. I didn't mask off the tire because it just peels right off after a run with an exacto knife



Be careful when removing the paper from behind because some may stick to the rim and pull off part of your work. This happened to me, but I just touched up afterwards. (There wasn't enough spray to re-mask, and the excess just came off while driving.)

Hope this was helpful!

 

^ Sorry about all the links... I don't know why the pictures just didn't post.


It shows through, but not very brightly. Heres what I got. (Only one coat on the corners)

 

Not too shabby.

 

Im a new owner and one of the first "mods" i did was plasti dip the stockies

Heres a side view of original and then painted.. sorry for low quality!

 

Welcome to the club! looks good
