How to Plasti dip badges/emblems on your Vehicle - Step by step Guide with tips and tricks

[@jltgp6221]

Looks awesome man! It costs $1,300 for Dodge’s “blacktop” package just to get blacked out wheels/emblems from the factory. Instead, I spent $21 for three cans of plasti-dip and got the same look on my 2021 Charger. Very pleased with the results.

[@YuriyMotso]

Excellent! Yeah. Way over priced.

when you get a car wash it doesn’t come off or start peeling at all?

I actually bought the OEM black Ridgeline badges for the rear of my white 19 Sport, and had Honda do the installs. Man, I could have saved hundreds of dollars by going with this method. But it's never too late. I've got my eye on those chrome rails on the back and front grille. Thanks for posting this.

Yep. It’s extremely durable. I need to do follow up video.

I used plasti dip on my subarus wheels about 2 years ago and barely have any peeling. I've even had my tires changed since then. Now I'm using it on my emblems and its also held up great!

It's actually crazy how it cuts itself when peeling. Truly a wonder product.

So you don’t have to cut around the edges before starting to peel??

How many minutes after I spray can I peel the excess? Or should I remove it after all are dried up?

[@IamGroot786]

I did it and it turned out pretty good! You're so right, it seems counterintuitive but you do want your over sprayed area to be a little wider so you can grab it with two hands. That way it's easier to peel off.

Jeez I didn’t realize how well plastidip is to work with. Definitely gonna keep this in mind

[@KenUngaro]

Yes, agreed, GREAT video sir. So start peeling it all off the body parts in about 3 minutes after the final coat? The whole time I was wondering how the product "knew" to break at the point of the emblem so cleanly.

[@thatoneguy5903]

I just did this on my friends brand new 4Runner a few days ago, then I watched this video. From my experience, I agree with over spraying onto the panel. Had I done it, I wouldn't have been there for an hour peeling.

[@YuriyMotso]

Yeah, being conservative on the spraying is not a benefit in this application.

[@KeithBalante]

thanks for this - I was wondering how to pull the overspray off the car for the emblems and your method there is perfect

This is an awesome way to add a bit of a custom look to the vehicle. Will be picking up some Plasti-Dip. Did you use a razor or something to cut out the letters after you finished spraying it? Because it peeled off perfectly. Also, do you know if this can be used to protthe undercarriage from water/ salt to prevent rust?

[@YuriyMotso]

Two years in and still like the day I applied it. I pressure wash my car and use sponge and it’s good.

[@viaciclista]

Thanks Yuriy, some great videos. What is your decision criteria on applications where you would Plasti Dip versus vinyl wrap?

[@YuriyMotso]

Honestly plastidip is much easier than wrapping. However if it’s a large surface area you could end up with some overspray or uneven coatings if you are not experienced. The vinyl has its own issues as well. Overall great finish but more difficult, time consuming and you could get wrinkles if you don’t handle the material properly. Now I have done both and because my plastidip is on the rear of the truck it’s not exposed to the same torrential weathering like the vinyl does. That being said the vinyl is still in excellent shape. Looks same as the day I installed it. No fading or peeling. I’ll maybe have to do a follow up video for you guys so you can see it up close and personal. So preference really goes down to how much time and effort you want to put into your piece. The quality comes down how well you can apply the material so both will look good if you do it right. Today I might go with plastidip first and if that failed vinyl. You can buy plastidip on matte, semi and high gloss finishes. So if you like that glossy black interior trim on the rtle and black edition ridgelines then that would be the route to go.

[@Sami-rp7mf]

[@tedjohnson64]

Sorry, I’m confused: why does the plastidip peel off the paint so easily, yet sick to the emblem letters so well? Did you prime the letters to promote adhesion? (I tried googling, but couldn’t find the answer)

[@karaokekid7189]

Did you not have to take a blade and trim around the letters? I didn't see you do that on the video. It appeared that you just pulled the plasti-dip off and it miraculously stayed on the lettering. Please advise...

[@chauffeurmarco]

I don't get it. Whow come the letters don't come out with the rest.

[@dailytuning]

[@YuriyMotso]

You are welcome!

[@gg48gg]

Hey Yuriy. Thank you for all the awesome videos! For the chrome delete on the window pillars, do you recommend vinyl or plasti-dip?

[@YuriyMotso]

Honestly if I did it again, probably would try the plastidip. Reason is that my plastidip has been on now for two years and looks like new. Since the window pillars are located on the side of the vehicle and not the front, very little damage will be happening from rock chips that would increase the likelihood of it peeling away. So for that reason I would definitely try the plastidip.

[@xplor1301]

Nice result! 👍🏻

[@YuriyMotso]

Thank you!

[@k.a.davison9897]

Why does the Plasti Dip remain on the emblem as you are pulling it away? As I'm watching you pull, I thought it would pull off of the emblem the same way that it is pulling off of the body panel. Would someone comment on this. It is a nice effect.

[@YuriyMotso]

It’s most likely because the emblem is raised off the vehicle slightly so when you spray there is a small gap that is thinner than the rest. When you tear it away that area acts as a weak spot and tears there. My guess at least.

[@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles]

A quick question, how does it hold up to washings, weather, and normal wear and tear, months, years,weeks?

[@latenitez23]

[@YuriyMotso]

Thank you. I think chrome is for a specific type of vehicle. A classic most definitely has to have chrome. A modern vehicle however, in my opinion, does not. The styles collide. There is a paradigm shift in the vehicles designs and tastes in the generation.
