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.

[@abdoukane3836]

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

[@topshelfbullys7889]

but how long does it last?

[@pdebie1982]

@@topshelfbullys7889did it on my previous car. Couple of years, no problem.

[@fredthechihuahua]

​@abdoukane3836 no sir. I plasti dipped my chrome wheels 1.5 years ago, and wand wash/foam brush scrub them every week, on top of that they've dealt with 1 canadian winter, not one bit of peel. You could definitely start peeling a bit off with close up high pressure, or if you physically scraped it with intentions to remove the dip, but nah brother it'll hold up well past it's money's worth. When it goes bad, just touch up or clean off and redo.

[@WhatYourtold]

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!

[@logan5326]

2 years? How many coats you sprayed bro?

[@engabdullahch]

Probably the best result I've seen so far from all the videos of Plastidip.

[@-Nathan87-]

Won't last 1st coat is meant to be really light for better adhesion

[@Jbiglin]

Thanks so much for showing your struggles with it as opposed to only showing the parts where it “worked perfectly” like so many other you tubers do. Great vid. Very informative and helpful. First time on this channel. Need to check it out. Thanks again!

[@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.

[@YuriyMotso]

Awesome feed back! Glad it helped out!

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.

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

[@medicmike7549]

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

Great video. Well done. The music and sound level were perfect!

[@fireman82392]

One of the best videos! Thanks for a straight to the point tutorial! Planning on doing this to our Sequoia soon and this is a great guide!

[@WayneSpider]

HUGE THANKYOU for this video. I own a 2023 Buick Envision ST. Its black on black but ALL the emblems are chrome. It's a small fortune to get them swapped to black. This is a wonderful idea I'd never thought of. Thankyou.

[@YuriyMotso]

Awesome!

[@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.

[@haciendadad]

I did it, it is easy. I used a dental floss pick, it didn't wear out. Great video!

[@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.

[@GaryKari]

Looks almost like the best result of plastidip out there. Nice work!

[@YuriyMotso]

Thanks!

[@explorer2945]

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

[@DuKsOmI]

I definitely have to try it on our transit. I did not know, that it’s cutting itself that perfectly. Used plasti dip for rims before, but never thought about using it like that. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@YuriyMotso]

I am glad you are inspired!

[@KeithBalante]

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

[@WARMEZ911]

This blows my mind lol! I got the black badges worked in the deal when I purchased my Civic but I will definitely give this a try on my wife’s Highlander. Great video & instructions!

[@YuriyMotso]

Awesome! Wish you great success!

[@BuzzPopCola]

What really sped things up for me was using a hair dryer between coats. I was able to apply 4-5 coats within 5 minutes and it came out perfect

[@sheldonbenoitphotography]

Great video! I did the same with my Acura TL winter rims. Works very well. It's starting to peel now, but it's only winter rims so I am not to worried. I'll just apply another round for next year.

[@nacuda9]

[@sheldonbenoitphotography]

@@nacuda9 I personally have not run my car through the car wash. But it does seem to hold up to pressure washing at home. But I didn't hold the it to long in one spot. I do have some some pealing on the edges, but that was from my wife curbbing my rims when she took it out one day..lol

[@tylerp4130]

Just a heads up, they also sell a product that you rub onto areas you don't want the plastidip to stick to that helps with removal when you're ready to peel off the excess.

how does it hold up on car washes?

GREAT VIDEO…WELL DONE… I AM NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ASKED THIS QUESTION, BUT HOW WELL DOES IT HOLD UP WHEN WASHING THE VEHICLE… I ASSUME PRESSURE WASHER IS NOT A GOOD IDEA BUT HOW ABOUT CAREFULLY USING A SOAPY SPONGE WHEN WASHING THE TRUCK? RON

[@YuriyMotso]

Thanks Ron. I actually used a pressure washer on it from a few inches away after a year and it held up. I have no problems with washing with a sponge when I do wash my vehicle. It still looks like new on my truck. I am not super careful when I wash around that area but I do try not to be aggressive.

I grew up in the late 50's and the 60's and my main complaints about vehicles from late 70's to nowadays and that's not any to very little Chrome. The more chrome the better. However I think your process is sound and to use a technical really neat. I have other projects that I can use this on.

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.
