I have been dipping since March of 2013. I wanted to give you some pointers since that it was your first time.
- Clean your project with Pre Dip Spray or use 50/50 of rubbing alcohol and water. Using just water isn't going to be good enough to clean.
- When you're taping leave an inch or more. The closer the tape is the more chance the tape is going to take the dip off. Also having more pulling area to take the dip off around the project.
- When you're starting to dip, start your layers off thin. Do the first 3 or so layers very thin. Build that base up. The more layers, the more protection, easier to peel.
- Be 6 inches away from the project. If you spray too close, it's going to run or get bubbles(like you did).
- You do not need to wait 30 minutes for the last coat. You can remove the tape while the dip is wet. If you do it while it's dry then you have a chance of lifting the dip from the tape. There is a lot of variables to when it comes to dip dry time because of air temp, humidity.
I hope this helps you and others out to when it comes to your projects.
Sweet thanks dude! That does help a lot because I do plan to dip more parts of the car. I appreciate the tips :)
***** You're welcome. Once you get the process down, dipping becomes so much easier. Also dipping other things rather than just your car makes you more of a versatile dipper. It's a trial and error hobby. At least if you make an error then you can take it off and redo it. Happy Dipping!
Sounds like you copied/pasted what Fonize said...
Thanks for the SUPER helpful tips....they were exactly what made mines comes out great...

It's fascinating that the plasti dip in the badges does not peel off and magically stays where it needs to, love it!
It's magic

When I do it, it don’t. It all comes off with one peel. Been trying for two days.
@@dallasknowles2301 new recipe is shit
@@dallasknowles2301 your not putting enough coats on and let it dry longer in between coats…..trust me! I let it dry 20 minutes between coats and after last coat let it sit for an hour, came off easy
Just a tip when getting the plasti dip from inside the letters,Just work the toothpick into the plasti dip and then twist.As the toothpick twists it pulls the plasti dip out perfect.Just my two cents.Great video!
4169reinfam Dude, thanks! I did have trouble getting the dip out of the letters. Appreciate the tip man :)
4169reinfam hi I just sub to your channel can you please help me out and subscribe to my channel I'm just starting my channel thanks
Good idea
This comment was greatly appreciated. Cheers buddy 👍
Why dont they just come black from factory 😭No one wants those tacky chrome letters
So they can make money by selling the $5000 "midnight" trim
Right
@@flannelsandfire5007 forreal such a joke how much the charge for the smallest add ons.
@@blazehall8086 right but thats why we as car enthusiasts love changing our car bc stock aint it🤝
I actually prefer chrome badges on Impreza
I was about to buy some black emblems. You just saved me the headache of trying to get the new emblems level 👍
i would of just bought emblems this stuff gets dirty and looks nasty after a while
@@HumorDash just repaint it🤔it didn't look that hard
sounds like a great idea
same
It’s amazing how easy you made this look… I’m looking at my badges and thinking, “how tf do I tape off the letters so perfectly!? It gonna take forever!!”. But then here’s a video showing that intricate taping isn’t even necessary because plasti dip is so damn easy to use 🤯🤯🤯
Had the same thought!!
WOW! 1 million views. Thank you all so much
Glad I saw this !!! I'm just about to do it to my Subaru, and I was going to remove the badges first and then dip them. Putting them back on would have been a nightmare !!! Never thought of just doing them in place. Thank You !!!!!!
This really looks easy and most important professional. Gives me the tools to trick out my Solstice .
This just gave me a whole world of ideas . Plasti dip shoes,forks,spoons , plates, jewelry,etc. and if possible those hairless cats lol it's like you put spandex on them I'll have the most stylish cat on the block!
+p12ize Haha! Hairless cats
Some times I lose all hope in the TH-cam comment section, Others my faith is restored in humanity with comments like this.
wahiawabound808 his mom is gonna have a hell a rainbow mouth lol
angel flores 😂😂😂😂 taste the rainbow lmfao.
Why would you Plasti dip shoes?
Thanks for making this video 6 years ago! I just plasti dip the chrome on my Sequoia! Looks great! Followed your instruction.
Getting ready to do my Sequoia!
Thanks for the upload, I'm gonna do this to my badges, emblems and anything else I can think of
No problem! You definitely should ads a nice touch if you want to get rid of chrome or anything like that.
do ur windows
Thank you for posting this! I've been thinking about doing this when I get a car and this is definitely the tutorial I'll use if I do it. 10/10 will recommend to my car enthusiast friends.
No problem dude! That's awesome! Please share it, it would help a ton :)
This is a great video, straight to the point of how to do it and no messing about, thanks a lot!
If you want to do this, by all means do it!!! Very simple, easy, and cheap. I went to get a quote from a mechanic garage, and the guy said he would charge $150, and after watching these DIY vids, it was so easy. $6 at home depo and 50 mins is all you need:)
Yup, and you can do it with ease of mind since it's not permanent :)
this is awesome and exactly what I needed to see. thank you so much for the vid. I was looking for a way to black out my impreza emblems
Well hey, I appreciate you posting this because I was scared and didn't know if I could do it 😑.
Nice video. It helped me a lot. I just tried this out on my Lancer and made a video too! Thanks again!
Pretty good video. Want to make a few notes to people out there doing this for the first time. Some pretty helpful tips:
1. Warm the cans up in some warm water for half an hour or so before you use them.
2. Do it on a good day. about 75F out or so. Don't do it in direct sun and when it's 95F out.
3. Clear the nozzle immediately after you are done. You're gonna lose some pressure from the can but what you will have if you don't is typically a clogged up nozzle that sprays splotchy. Turn the can directly upside down and spray til it clears.
4. Don't do it too far but not too close either. 4-6 inches is about where you want it.
5. There's corners you think you've covered but haven't. Definitely spraying from all angles.
First attempt at dipping my grill, I didn't clear the nozzle. I was too far away (like 8 inches) and it was very hot and in the direct sunlight so it came out looking like crap. Basically a texture clump of rubbery pieces. No good.
It holds up pretty nicely. I even hand washed over it without any issues. Just be careful not to scrub at it, or you may end up peeling it off.
I plan on doing this to my rear badges soon along with using a sponge to paint the fronts white.
This tutorial has great audio quality!
Roberto Kalafate whats the spray name ?
great video. I tried this on my new Tesla Model 3, and my results were......mixed. The front emblem came out perfect. The rear, a little sloppy. And I found that Plasti Dip works best on BIG letters and numbers; the smaller you go, the more problems you have.
I have a suggestion for you for the q-tips. In the makeup section of Target or Walmart are the really great pointed q-tips women use sometimes to apply eye makeup so you can get hundreds of those for like $3. So you can spend your more money on your ride and less extra products for plasti-dip primers.
awesome i’m gonna do this to my 16 wrx ! and so many other things ! thanks i’ve never used it before so simple much better than wrapping or painting ! subbed man
Again i'll repeat it cause some people keep saying it wont come off? That couldn't be more incorrect. Plasti-Dip is just that, spray on plastic coating, IT IS NOT PAINT. It will wear off after about 1-2 years depending on how delicate you wash your car. That being said it is totally worth it and a great product!!!
Blood & Gold can you machine wash it?
I Plasti-Dipped my wheels 6 years ago and only minor spots where it's peeling away. Front grill and side emblems are still in perfect condition.
Quick tips for plastic dipping anything: after the first coat all coats should be wet, if they aren't they will leave texture. Warm up your cans if the spray seems globba. Smoothly move your can from side to side with complete length sprays. Don't stop or start in an area that isn't off the area being dipped. Lastly, when peeling be sure to peel away, not towards, the emblem or object. This will ensure that you don't damage the surface. The more coats you put, the longer it will last and the easier it will be to peel down the line. Sweet spot is around 5 to 6. Have fun! Good video for the basics :)
+Steve Vento if applied correctly plasti dip can have no texture. It can also be textured. It's all in how you coat it. People will go too thick and too thin. 1 50% coverage coats, 1 full coverage coat, and then 3 more fully wet coats will be smooth. If you want texture you can do 2 more light coats and allow them to dry. It's all in experimenting.
Thankkks man my badges do have that rough truck bed look. I'll re do them and add coats while wet instead of waiting for each coat to dry
Just make sure you maintain 6 inch distance, warm up your cans in warm water first, and clean of nozzles!
+Nathan Amons alright I'll keep that in mind
+Nathan Amons I also heard that you should peel the tape off before the last coat drys?
Just started plastic dipping my SUV emblem. It came out beautifully without any problem. This stuff is amazin and super easy to apply and peel off the excess dip once they're dried every 15 minute per coat. Seems like you spray it too close creating too much excess drip on yours. I spray from 6" to 8" and spray lightly back and forth that way it doesnt have excess coating drip and dries faster too when you apply light coat and not overspray it.
Literally looking to do the same to my Subaru and this is the first video I found lol thanks so much!
SAME 😂
That’s awesome! This is the first time that I have seen this done. Why doesn’t it also come off of the letters? How well does it last through the weather and car washes and what not??
Plasti. I wanna make my mazda 3 emblems green, hopefully gonna pick up some plasti this weekend. Nice video!
Confident builder video for sure! Good video and great pointers from other people as well.
Great tutorial, I am going to do the MB emblem on the front of my Sprinter. THANKS
can you add glossifier onto it because im scared if i put glossifier it wil stick onto the paint where i dont want tons of overspray
Love the Car, but also saw you have a Ravens Jersey!! Love it man. Thanks for the Video.
It looks great, man! I am most likely going to do all my badges black/red on my white xB1.
Thank you! I bought a can to start with some of my Jeep accents. This video was easy to follow! #plastidip
Spray lighter coats ..let it dry between coats..you will get a perfectly smooth finish on lettering..
YUP! biggest mistake people make for sure.
Car badges ALWAYS have polish (not Polish 🤪) buildup that accumulates over many years. I suggest a car wash using the wand sprayer and concentrate spray on the letters before doing one of these projects. This may account for many of the complaints about shrinkage. Usually premature peeling of finished project is due to insufficient prep. Taking extra time preparing the surface is the most important and often overlooked aspect of this type project.
Also, make SURE you mask off a LARGE area surrounding the project and NEVER spray in short close strokes. ALWAYS have the nozzle spraying before and after you pass the target area.
✋🏻
the better the prep the better the result..nailed it
Plasti. Thanks for the vid. Did the emblems on my 99 Silverado and it turned out great!
Great job! 👍
Thanks for this video.
It persuaded me that even I could do this 😁
Drinking Game : Drink every time he says Toothpick
Genius
Blacked out
I'm drunk 🥴
Im dead :/
I’m drunk af
very nice tutorial im just amazed that it didn't rip any off the badges
+Phillip Dammann me too
+Phillip Dammann the plasti dip wouldnt have connected between the badges and the body, so it would break around the badge when pealed
+Phillip Dammann It did pull the plasti up when I was peeling it from out of the insides of letters like O's and A's
Showing this video to my dad is what convinced him to let me do it to my car, thanks!
Ryon Hajek You're welcome! It's awesome stuff. I've done my emblems, trunk trim, wheels and chrome pieces under my windows.
Plasti! Looking good mate, can't wait to see more of these videos! :D
Thanks Maxi!
I did the exact same to my 08 impreza but I also dipped the strip above the license plate cause it was chrome. Looks dope!
lol you have the ugliest year.. sorry for you that you bought that car
+Alex Nickerson Lol I like it, just personal preference I guess
+Alex Nickerson 15+ are the best models
GD's will always be the best
Hey, can you make a video on how you plastidip a grill with a logo on it
Great editorial. learned a lot
Doing this with my cruze rn 👍
update: did the "cruze" and "lt" badges but did all heavy coats so it came out somewhat lumpy like your's, gonna do the chevy badge and chrome trunk piece tomorrow hopefully and gonna try to start with some lighter coats to make it look smooth
That looks good but damn there's too many badges on these cars , just the wrx would look nice
Badge delete would have been nice
Yup pop those badges off
A few minutes with your old girls hair dryer and they will peel right off...much better!
Agree. I did a badge delete and a black WRX logo on mine, and it looks sick.
“We don’t need no stinking badges....”
Thanks! Very useful 👍
sAMOAnKinG84 No problem! I'm glad it helped.
If you go to www.dipyourcar.com they have a release agent to use to aid in removal as well as a prep cleaner that helps with adhesion.
Great job man now im confident to try it myself
I'm doing my Forester right now.
Flexceil! LIQUID RUBBER IN A CAN.
Wow looks awesome, nice car :3 thanks heaps ^^ I hadn't thought of emblems, will put it on the 'dip list' after my front bumper and rims :D
P.S wrong side of the fence dude Mitsu. is the way to go ;P
Done it on my 2015 WRX, awsome!
Coolbe did that on my audi r8 and it was looking amazing (sory if i speak english bad im from norway)
Will it come off when i wash and dry my car?
Great video, thanks for all of your help
1500 or 2000 grit wet and dry bud on them chrome badges first dull them down n they'll be super smooth the spray them with any spray paints
Soo heavy on that first coat lol
Any advice on washing your car after you plastidip the emblems?
+Brandon Sooknanan You can just wash it like normal and it will be fine. I rub my wash mitt on the dip and it's still holding up great since this video.
Brandon Sooknanan one tip just dont spray the very edge with pressure
this looks great!
good job!
Liked just because you're a Ravens fan too!🙌🏻🇺🇸💜
How long does it last? How does it hold up to car washes (not hand washing)? Any way to increase its durability, perhaps with matte clear coat?
mine last about a year and a half
@@4lGA1NERtaha Same. I decided to do mine two years ago when I posted that comment and it's still holding up 😂
How long can you expect this to stay on the emblems?
Cool that you do others videos too instead of dayz tutorials.That was really helpful,will get to it again if I have my first car.#Stilljealous
I did my trunk trim on a Corolla and it looks pretty dope, you did a great job bro
take a drink every time he says "kind of"...
Johnny Utah or toothpick
Within one minute of the video I already have to get my stomach pumped at the hospital
Marc Knight Nah I value my life my man
i did it and now i'm dead. thanks a lot.
Marc Knight I was drinking everytime he said toothpick
question: This was recorded almost 3 years ago. How is the dip holding up?
What about 6?
He sold his car a week after so he has no idea how it holding up
That’s funny, I still have the car and the same dip on the emblems 😉
@@EngageTutorials I did it almost 2 years ago and it's doing fine. I do avoid hard scrubbing on it when washing. I went ahead and bought a fresh set of emblems for the whole care just in case. I would have these professionally colored as a backup plan.
Nice to meet you Mr Tutorials
Excellent video. Great explanation!
I want to Plastidip my Emblem, but it's located directly above the back up camera. Who do i protect the back up camera? Would paper and tape work?
yes
Legit just cover it with anything.
Seriously ?
As I was peeling it off the whole entire paint on the badge peeled with it
I'd just get black badges and remove the old ones. I can do that with my BRZ, fortunately
Plasti dip is like $5. Black badges are quite a bit more.
I de-badged my impreza "&" sport 🤣 logo off my right rear hatchback so I could put on an 4" Decepticon emblem. I love the Black platidip that you did but I covered over the oval Subaru emblems with black T-Rex tape and have an "silver," Decepticon logo in the center so, I don't know if I want to dip the chromed 4" logo in black or leave it silver. If I leave it silver that would look funny with the blacked out Subaru symmetrical logos. Decisions decisions LoL......Thanks for the great video 🏹🤠👍.
that's awesome! i didn't know plasti dip peeled off THAT easily on car paint. black emblems here i come :)
Seth Stinson Yup, it's awesome!
Is that normal black? or is there a matte black?
You can make it glossy by having a plasti dip glossifier which comes in a similar bottle.
Wonder what his reaction would be if he used permanent spray paint 😂
ZexonRaider well fuck my life!!!!!!!!
(something like that)
Hahahaahhaha
Lol, the dick comment 😂
You're a sick fuck, ZexonRaider. I like it!
This comment delights my soul
i live in Arlington, VA. Good Video.
good for you man i loved my scooby but its 2016 i think theres enough videos out there already...
Did Jake Gyllenhaal narrate this video?
how did does it hold up over time with sun and weather?
Sorry for the late reply but it's still holding up perfectly and looks exactly the same to this day.
My neighbor paid a guy a bunch of money to plastidip his rims. First time he took it off road it all chipped and peeled. I suggest not PlastiDipping anything that is going to get beat up much from the road. Back end, doors, sure, but front bumper and stuff, probably going to get messed up
A buddy of mine did his truck's grille and after about two months the chrome was visible through multiple rock chips and tears in the Plastidip. If anything, it shows how much abuse the front of your vehicle endures with simple freeway driving. Plastidip is good stuff, but if you're going to use it on the front of your vehicle, I'd definitely suggest LOTS of coats.
Thanks for the post. Try pulling the tape off immediately after spraying the final coat, while it’s still wet. With the solvent still leveling, the tape should pull away clean and fast without clinging to the dip. Cheers
Awesome I'm probably gonna do my wife's Honda Accord looks clean bro good video on showing how too
+Carlos Torres No problem! You should definitely give it a try. It does look great and easily removable :)
Or you could just take the badges off and then paint them.
Or you could just leave the badges on and use plasti dip
I know, right? Lol
there is a mistake that you make.
you shouldn't remove the tape when the platidip is dry, you ned to remove it at the las coat of platidip while is wet
truth
I'm glad I watched this so I would not mess up on that my first time. lol
I think it turned out well for him considering it was his first time using it.
In this case it doesn't matter. But if you were painting something else where you don't want the dip to come off then yes you are suppose to remove the tape Before the dip gets dry
Not really tho
Great video, and GO RAVENS! Getting ready to try this on my Jeep
+Mike Parsons Hey, thanks Mike! You should definitely try it out it's awesome and yes! GO RAVENS :D
I'm doing it to my Range Rover letters in black as well. I might do the side vents and the hood vents and the trunk trim as well..
I'm so scared of doing this to my car and having the paint to stay...
It's plasti dip and not paint.
How does it stick to the letters and not the car??
@@shanedejong7636 It does stick to the car, that's why he's using a toothpick to take it off.
How come it doesn't peel from the badges (letters) as well? Is there a trick to not pulling it all?
@@chieflychiefly4177 There is a small gap between the badges and car surface paint, it is a weak point for the plastidip and it rips along that crease.
Does this devalue the car in anyway? Also is the Plastidip able to removed easily from the emblems if I dont want it anymore?
acetone eats it right up with a towel or peal up with your fingers
Linn Dubb Acetone wont damage the emblem in anyway?
i dont believe so do a test with sum on a q tip,but acetone is clear coat safe I kno this for a fact,and if your emblems are in good shape no pealing id say its safe on them as well
Student B,ever get told you look like Red Man??? holly cow!
Student B depends, and plasti dip just peels off easily
i never new plasti dip peeled off like that, mine turned out great!
Plastics !! Looks great and have made me rethink my opinion
Definitely would not call peeling off plasti dip fun..
+Kyle Reese if you do it right its easy
if you put at least 5-6 coats it comes off mad easy yo 6 is the best when i dip my whole car i do 7 coats
Kyle Reese it is not fun at all
i actualy think u painted ur car i'm like dude wtf
Thanks this video helped!.. Helped me decide to buy the black badges instead. Lol but still helped thanks :)
Tried it on my badges and it came out really bubbly. I sanded and cleaned with white spirit before and they were really smooth before I used plasti dip
Plasti
PLASTI DIP IS NOT A MOD
+whyrobles You're right lmao. I was a noob back then
it is a mod, an aesthetic one, not a performance one
TΞCHNO NIKO Ehhh, I guess your right to be honest. Yeah def not a performance mod haha
***** how's the subi now?
TΞCHNO NIKO It's good man! I still need to make an update video on it which I will soon. Probably within the next 2-3 weeks. I've done some performance mods to it. Well, 2. Catless downpipe and custom e tune by Torqued Performance.
Great video, looking to do my grill and badges, thought id have to spend a fortune. 👍
Great video thanks for the tips!
im done doing this plasti dip sh*t. i bought my emblem on subispeed.
ok
lol
Why what happened??
Me too!
