Default Can't go to China, so got some plastic dip
Man, my China's visa got rejected after I paid for my non-refundable
flight and tour to Beijing. And those guys would not tell me why they
rejected my visa. I have never been to China and I guess I never will.
So stupid!

Anyway, I was bored and started seaching for "plastic dip" in
Vancouver. Here's what I did today. Is the Blue too much?
what do you guys think?

Blue is a little much IMO. Keep it black I think, it just sticks out awkwardly.

Now, if you did your whole car blue on the other hand... XD

OK, Blue it is then.... Lol! Yeah, I do think that blue is out of place.
Maybe a darker blue....

I got them from Industrial Plastics & Paints. It's across from Ikea @ Richmond
two stores down from Starbucks. We stopped by there last time before
going into RevScene.

Nice work! I have seen quite a few people using the plastic dip as it is a much easier application compared to painting the emblems with black paint.

The emblems must look even better in person
I wonder how the plastic dip will hold up to weather and stuff.

Thanks for sharing

Yeah, it's dark housing too!

that plastic dip is so easy that If you spray it somewhere else
, you can just wipe it off. I should have use it on my front grill frame.

I wonder about that too. Maybe I'll wait until that blue come off before repainting it dark blue.
