Blackout Car Emblems / Logo Cheaply and Easily / Plastidip / Hyperdip

[@TeamFish15]

Tips: put can in hot water for 15-20’. That thins the Plastic Dip and prevents any orange peel look. Use 4-5 coats.

[@mikeday9111]

What happens when I wash and dry it? I can imagine pulling the plastic dip off.

DYC has a new product, hyperdip, that sprays much smoother. Used it on emblems and the chrome window molding and it had zero texture and was smooth as paint.

BRO!!!! You have solved my life problems!!! I’ve always wanted to customize my decal to black - but it costs $125 for each one 😑 and I’m like “nope! I’m going to do what you did here!!” Thank you for the hack!!

[@1stormzero1]

125 each? The wraps where I’m from is 25 each😭

[@mrvang8077]

Just did mine and it came out flawlessly. Very easy to plastic dip your emblem. No worry about overspraying your car because they can be easily peel off.

I have done this more than just a few times. When cleaning, I always start with Dawn dish washing soap, and the reason for this, is because it cuts through the wax on your car, leaving just the clear coat, which is not quite as smooth as the wax. After the area has been thoroughly rinsed, then I spray it with 90% alcohol to remove any residue, and then, finally, I apply the Plasti-Dip. Wait a day or two before rewaxing the painted surfaces, and you're done.

[@StangDivergent]

Be aware that denatured alcohol does not leave residue like rubbing alcohol does.

[@johnayre6189]

Worked like a charm!!! And, saved me several hundred dollars. I love the “night” look of my car emblems. If you can edit your video, maybe mention to not use anything sharp when pealing off the excess. Even using tweezers can scratch existing paint. Thanks again for the excellent tutorial!

[@R__K]

Yep, I've seen other videos where they just use a toothpick very lightly to guide the plastidip when pulling it off the emblems.

[@TomGlander]

Yep. Plastidip is very cool. Only thing you have to be sure about is putting it on thick enough so you can peel it. Too thin and it is hard to peel without tearing.

[@chitownelitebreaks4696]

[@jasonberger3227]

@@BMSculptures also super fun to do, and peeling away from the areas that are not targeted is very ASMR.

[@turdferguson5300]

Something else that I like with the gray, blackout look is red brake calipers. I have a Tundra TRD Pro in gray/blackout with red factory accents and Fox suspension but not the red calipers. We fixed that. You can opt to have them powder coated but I used brake paint. Clean them thoroughly with brake cleaner first and tape everything. It takes much longer preparing than it does painting. If the paint comes off in the future I'll have them powder coated.

[@SantiagoNessy]

[@TheObsessedPatriot]

That paint can shaker brought back some great shake weights infomercial memories.

[@Ceen328]

You can peel of the plasti dip around the logo, because there is an air gap from the 3m tape. You didn't clean the logos well enough, so you got these spots. Just take a look at how car painter clean the surface. Also, use a decent spray cap and learn how to spray with a can. You were way to close and started the spraying in the middle of the logo. Tape of WAY more area and spray in longer, but smoother strokes. All reasons, why you got so much orange peel. I don't want to be super harsh, but the result is really bad IMHO.

[@fanman4230]

Just remember that some manufacturer's front logo badges have sensors behind them for pre-crash and smart cruise control. Painting them may affect how the sensors work and could void warranty. I had problems with these sensors on my vehicle which had everyone scratching their heads until a spider nest was found behind the logo badge. Mud and ice can also affect how these sensors work.

Thanks…great video. Are the rims a similar technique? Would love to do mine. Thanks again…

[@screaminscott]

I suspect that the car emblems are applied with double-sided foam tape. The thickness of the foam tape means the emblems actually sit above the surface of the car. When you spray the whole area, the plasti-dip on the emblems isn't attached to the plasti-dip on the paint, so you can just peel that off and the emblems stay painted.

Followed video to a T and the only thing that made it a failure was how THICK it actually needs to be. I did what I would consider 3 good coats (thinking more like paint) and the extra was so thin I couldn't get a lot of it off without rolling it hard with my finger and it tore a lot off of the lettering in the process. Be sure to do the equivalent of like 6 or 7 coats of paint! Or maybe just heavier coats in general. It is a MAJOR pain in the butt to peel off thin Plastidip!
