I dont like the rubberized finish, but then I saw this


And now I am very, very tempted. You did remove the emblems, correct? How did you do the "L"?

It couldn't be any easier. No removal of anything. Tape a small square around each emblem wirh painters tape and cover everything with towels, newspaper, etc so all you see is the square around the emblem. Lay down 6-8 coats over the entire emblem, car paint, everything. I only did 5 min or so between coats. Peel when dry and the plastidip literally cuts itself along the edges as long as you peel carefully. Lots of youtube vids of the process.

if you don't like the results you can always peel the whole thing off. Just make sure you do a good tape job.

Love the plastidip on my Taco, hate it on the GS.

it's probably because the rubberized look is more rugged, which doesn't fit the GS, imo. And there's already a lot of Black Pearl accents on the trim in the back, so it's more consistent.

Thanks for the closeups. The plastidip looks great on the Taco.

Thats a fair assessment. Maybe some day when I'm feeling less lazy I'll go that route as well.

danwlee

That's the beauty of Plastidip. Peel it off if you don't like it!

Ive emailed the dude on ebay that was linked up in the thread asking him to do all the F emblems for me, I hope he says ok that way I get all the F, GS and rear L in the black pearl. I also asked if he would do the front emblem.

texaslexii

Well, Im SOL, he doesnt do plating, he just resells, which means those can be had cheaper.

I've made some pre cut pieces for the front emblem. If you were interested in it, shoot me a PM.

Here's some pictures. It's subtle in pictures.

ATOMIC SILVER PAINT? Love the color.

shenry500

Thanks buddy! Didn't like it so much in the pictures but once I saw it in person I was sold

Ditto, it goes from gray to silver to pewter to champagne depending how the sun hits it. Its a very nice color and I'm loving it.
