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:cry:. And those guys would not tell me why they
rejected my visa:mad:. 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:egads:
, you can just wipe it off. I should have use it on my front grill frame.

of that blue.

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