hey guys I gotta say this is the greatest thing I have ever seen and I plan to use it this week and see the results since I can't get a black pearl effect I'll see what the matte black looks like on a silver car. Click the link casue this thing is a must have its called Plasti-Dip.

The fact that it looks super easy to do with really no risk at all I might want to try this on my black car. Steath debadge without debadging... I wonder if I can get that stuff here in Canada though.

I'm undecided on the front emblem. Everyone else I've seen that wraps/paints the front L black ... it looks weird to me, like something is missing.

The way to go for me, for consistency, might be to do only the letters/numbers and leave the "L"s front and back chrome.

 

ive already done it to my car. please do not be like the 2IS guys and try painting parts with this.

 

They come in different colors, in white and clear and red, yellow as well. Amazon sells it so you can order it online or buy it at Home Depot, although you may not have that up there.

Yeah I wouldn't got that drastic, hey so you have done this how long does it really last.

 

ive had mine done since about the fall and its held up pretty good so far

 

We have Home Depot but apparently they don't carry it here. "Home Hardware" does, which is a short streetcar trip from my place. They sell it for a ripoff of $15 a can, though.

Amazon likely won't ship it to Canada, and if they do, they will probably charge practically what the can costs to do so anyway so I think I'll stick to the "ripoff" of $15 locally and give it a shot on my rear word badges at first and then decide based on how that turns out if I want to go all the way and do the front and back L as well.

I think it'll look slick as just a semi-debadge job without actually removing the word emblems. They'll still be visible but not so in your face. It's worth a try. Only problem is my car is eternally filthy recently because of all of the bad weather. I suppose I could get away with just wiping the emblems down though... as ghetto as I'll feel doing that kind of mod to a filthy car. :P

 

I dunno. I've painted emblems in the past and rock chips really tear up the front one. I even have the factory black chrome emblems and the one in the front is really chipped up. Ima have to give this one a
