marvin Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi All, About 2 weeks ago I blacked out my emblems using plasti dip. It was much cheaper than buying new emblems and definately easier than installing them. $40 & 2hours later these are the results. Let me know what you think guys! Also has anyone else used this product before and do you think it would work on the window trim?? Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisman Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nice work, looks fantastic on the USB. I've just done mine, not as good on Obsidian. I'll post some pics later. I'm still not convinced about the window trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisman Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Here's my pics, I decided to leave the ISF Emblem as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonski Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 They both look great - always been a fan of black out - especially on the audis...this looks good though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t4orce Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I also plastidipped my white ISF badges in the rear. The stuff is so addictive so I masked off the front bumper and plastidipped the centre to give it the new face spindle look. Unfortunately it has taken on an evo x sort of look instead. I've left it on for now but not sure if I'll keep it on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisman Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The blacked out emblems look great on the blue and white still not sure about doing it on black. t4orce, love your emblems, I'm not so keen on your bumper. Anyone done the grill surround yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BULLIT Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Marvin the emblems look great and good to see you have kept your car clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a post on clublexus where someone blacked out the intakes which looked pretty good. Good thing about plasti dip is you can easily remove it if you don't like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 nice work on the emblems t4orce. I like the F logo you have added to the front grille too. Just a quick update for those who are thinking of trying plasti dip. I just washed my car over the weekend and the emblems held up fine. Obviously i was careful not to go to hard at them but they are still in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t4orce Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I high pressure wash my car regularly and no matter how hard I hit the Plastidip it just clings on. If I scratched the edge and hit it with high pressure I'm sure it would peel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t4orce Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 For those of you who wanted to see what chrome looks after plastidipping, here are some pics of my Prado. I haven't hit the ISF grille yet as I haven't had time to look at how to remove the grille. Prado grille removal was easy... Smoked and glossified the rear lights too. I smoked first and the glossified a week later which probably wasn't the best. The rear badges are all blackened as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
