So i've had a couple people on here say they want me to plastidip their front Mitsu Badge. So I actually did it to mine and took a couple pics. This takes 5min of time, the rest is waiting between coats.


Tape off your front grill, I used patriotic napkins, cause i love 'Merica


Apply a couple (3-4) coats evenly


BE CAREFUL when peeling the tape off because it will peel the plastidip too. Use a sharp knife to make sure the paint doesn't peel off


After you peel off....WIN



Next up will be Plasti-dipping my fog light surrounds, this will be a bit harder. but not much

best part about plasti-dip is if you don't like it, you literally just peel it off :afro:

 

Nice job man! I'm thinking of doing this to my red Evo, but instead of a black emblem, what do you all think of a matte red emblem for some contrast against the black grille?

 

yup did mines too fairly easy just that i went more extreme cause of the amount of wind

had newspaper everywhere n make sure u dont spray on car body or else gonna have fun waxing it out

 

Nice! I guess what u used is called plastic dip...? I think Ill be doing this to my front badge. Turned out good

 

Not bad

 

Did this to mine as well. Make sure if you wash it off that you get all of the water/alcohol out of the cracks around the edge of the emblem. It will peel right off.

 

Looks good man, I have to do this to my MR badge the red on red looks horrible.

 

looks nice.. tempting..

 

Hey that's a great idea! I'm gonna start playing with Plasti Dip on my car everywhere now starting with the emblems then the wheels and dashboard. I heard this stuff is great and adheres to almost anything very easily.

 

looks pretty good

 

Its really cool

 

So plastic dip makes a "dip" basically an open top container and they have spray cans. Are you guys spraying the badge or painting the "dip" on with a brush?

 

Would like to know as well thanks and looks good!

 

The open top containers are intended to be used with the plasti-dip spray guns (so you can plasti-dip a whole car, the same way you'd paint one).

This was probably done with the plasti-dip rattle can.

I think this stuff would look pretty good with the front bezel material.

That site has some neat stuff^

 

Yeah people are using the spray cans for small items like this. You can buy matte black from Lowe's Home Depot in the spray paint section.
