Saw this on the Benz forum and thought about doing this to my emblems. This plasti-dipped stuff seems to be very durable once it's sprayed on. Anyone try this?

"This may have been discussed previously, but I decided to black out my rear emblems with the use of some Plasti Dip purchased from Lowes. I first cleaned the emblems with alcohol then applied three coats over about 10 minutes and then let dry for an hour. The excess peals off. The emblems can also be returned to chrome by pealing off the Plasti Dip. Total cost about $10."

If it can be peeled off to return to the chrome what's to say a carwash won't peel it off? Just doesn't sound like it would last.

If your car wash peels it off, you're going to the wrong type of car wash.

kinda confused as to how this works. You can spray it on the paint of the car, and it will peel off without damaging the paint?? But it stays on the emblem??

that's cool

verdict.

This.

Plasti-dip is some pretty cool stuff though. I have used it on a few of my past rides.

henwhee

i heard plasti-dip was really good, alot of good reviews from what i remember
i know a few people who plasti-dip their rims, must cheaper than powder coating

verdict.

There are also several other colors available, not just black.

Plasti-dip sucks... it looks horrible in person!... Why are Benz owners even cheaping out on "mods" in the first place?

i dipped the outer part of my door handles earlier today, doing the emblems this weekend when i have a little more time.

whenever you peel it off, its kindof reminds me of venom from which spiderman movie hes in when he peels the black stuff off of him, cheesy i know lol

I have used it before, it works ok. The thing I dont like is if you get a nick in it you have to peel it completely off and start over again, when it dries it is kind of like latex except if breaks into a million pieces when you try and peel it off.
