Plasti-drip is much easier to peel off if you do not like it.

its spray paint
Good masking skills
I would've taken the original ones off, purchase new ones, paint then apply.

there is also a product that is called RENEW...same concept.

The emblems look good...I think what would have set it off is the dupli-color black chrome paint...That is an amazing system and looks great.
