Default Finally Plasti-dipped my emblems!

So finally had a nice warm day, they came out pretty good, but I will say I can't get the A out, any idea's as to what I can use don't want to scratch my paint. Also I will say this stuff sucks when it gets in small area's definitely keep the whole trunk in newspaper so much easier. The glossifier has not come in so waiting for that and I will put another coat on the emblems and then the glossifier.

Looking good! Mine still looks perfect after 3-1/2 months. I used a flat headed toothpick to get the extra pieces out. It is a pain in the *ss to get the overspray off since I didn't completely line the trunk.

They should have used black emblems and trim pieces on all F-Sports.

Agreed. I love the black emblem look. Never saw them for sale. Only the black pearl. If you want black you must customize. Nice job. Looks great.
