- Plasti Dip done right for only $5! If you have any questions leave a question down in the comments! If this helped you out let me know that’s why I’m here!
I have attached the links to buy this from Amazon below, and I included the six pack because it’s almost a better deal if you’re going to buy more than one can!

Make sure to warm up your cans in warm water and make sure you fully wet out the last few coats if you want to get rid of the textured look you ended up with. It should come out fairly smooth when done right. Definitely a cheap mod worth doing that looks good.
Good tips! Thanks for that!
what do you mean by "wet out"
yea as shah asked, can u elaborate a little more on what u mean by “wet out the last few coats”
@@xxteep spraying very close to the surface
As advice also, you must do the spraying in quite cold place below 25C. Hot place will spoil the process.
i just did this to my silverado. i didnt want to go buy new black emblems again so i did this. And its been worth it. Even if you have any "over spray" I used some hand santizer to rub it away and then sprayed the spot down with some warm soapy water to ensure the alcohol from the hand sanitizer didnt harm anything
This is very cool! Years ago I was hand polishing my chrome emblem. I was trying to make it super shiny. Just by hand, I wore a spot thru the chrome. I had to continue to polish to remove all the chrome. That’s how I discovered blackout emblems. Seriously it did look good.
That’s awesome! Those old chrome pieces are hard to come by! Glad you liked it!
Pretty cool. This will give the guys and gals a good project to do alone or together while locked up at home for weeks and months. This is a very sharp looking finished product. Thx for letting us watch.
Who's locked at home? Someone call the cops to help them
I remember driving to work during lockdown. Was a ghost town. Was so strange
@@joesmith3908 Indiana didnt change everyone just acted as normal lol.... Like at the beginning everyone was a little paranoid but by May everyone was like fuck it the news is obviously lying. But there are a few people who still wear masks, I assume they are criminals.
@@Turk_2023 some of my coworkers got Covid real bad. Guess the severity was a lie until you were the one with serious respiratory issues.
I took precautions as best I could, not having the option to work from home like so many do. I was lucky and didn’t get Covid until last summer.
@@joesmith3908 It's at the very most bad flu/cold. Everyone one that gets sick nowadays that I know have one thing in common 💉
Just did this on my 2008 mustang GT and it looks great, thanks for the video my friend
Thanks, bud. I wanted to change the emblems on my F150, but this makes so much more sense. Gonna give this a try.
Same I’m considering it also !
@@vciq Very cool throttle profile picture
Just did this to my Toyota. Absolutely wonderful!!!
How well does it last?
@@MikeSmith-fq5dv multiple car washes w touch n non touch. Sever thunderstorms etc. very amazing!!!
If u wanna get rid of it, spray wd40, let set five minutes n it’ll come off w some rubbing
Pro tip: put a very small piece of tape on paint, in between outside of H and inside of circle around H, so you don’t have to scrape a hole through the plasti dip to start the peel. You can take that piece of tape off, and there is a nice little uncovered spot you can start peeling from
That is a good idea! Thanks!
I should've done that to the 'O' and 'D' in my Odyssey as well. Alas, I did this last month before your comment
Yes yes yes
just use a toothpick its much easier. if you take the tape off you will have little pieces of plastidip that will be hard to take off without peeling the letters
Thanks to your vid, I did this to all 3 of my cars. One note, the 'O' and 'D' in Odyssey are a pain to fix if you don't plan ahead and stick a little tab inside for peeling afterwards.
I've used plasti-dip for many many projects and this method really surprised me! Very nice results
It surprised me as well! Glad it came out so nicely. Thanks for the comment and watching!
lol what's the other way of doing it?
@@jamesbissonette peeling the letters off the car and painting them on another surface.
@@allenplant1702 ok mate, cheers
@@jamesbissonette omg its you James
Too cool. I have to try this method. Thanks for sharing. 😉
It’s pretty awesome I was amazed at how well it works! Enjoy!!
Did this on my civic and it went perfect! Thanks!
I did my marker lights, nice tint and still looking good 6 years 65k miles later 👏
why is your profile picture a dog shitting
Best window tinting idea 💡!!! Thanks 🙏
Thank the wife for us on the great camera angles. Thanks for the video!
a tooth pick works really well to get clean edges
Looks great, going to try this on my civic 😄
Finally someone that knows to spray paint in a sweeping back and forth motion while stopping at each end. It's unbelievable how many videos there are of spray paying on TH-cam where people don't get this extremely basic technique. Hell it even says it on the damn can.
No it doesn't.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 so you’ve read EVERY label on EVERY can of paint? Jesus you know it alls are annoying.
@@76cnolan That was EXACTLY my thought about the original comment. Funny how you didn't notice that your little comment about "know it alls" ACTUALLY applies to that comment, my confused little buddy. LMFAO. Talk about selective reading comprehension. Jesus, you complete morons are annoying!
@@shelbyseelbach9568 never once in my life have i seen a spray paint can that DOESNT have that written right on the side
@@TheDHJunkie Yes you have.
Muito bom amigo, é o melhor vídeo explicando de forma didática. Obrigado! 🇧🇷
Nice job! How long does plasti dip last? Can i use it on the windows chrome trim ? And last how about spraying clear coat on the top before peeling , brand new car i really wanna do it right thanks in advance.
Wow, that looks cool man. I didn't realize using that stuff was so easy.
Yeah me either! Hope it helps you out man!
Thanks for the vid! Commenting for the algorithm.
Not All Heroes Wear Capes! lol Thanks so much!
Amaziiiing!!! I'm gonna try it , but with pink color yeyyy!!!!
How did the pink go? I want to try as well...
Awesome project, also good comment helpful tips.
Oh wow. I thought I was the only one. I black plasti dipped my rear emblems and white on the front. Looks really good. White Accord Coupe 2014.
Ooh white on the front?! That’s interesting I’d like to see that! If you want send me a pic to my email kccreationsyt@gmail.com
1980s Eurolook with that white on white
I’ve always liked that monochrome style 👍
Just finished on my Tacoma!! Only ones I had to do were the TACOMA badges on my front doors....chrome....ICKY. Followed your recipe & WABAMM!! Thanks man!!
So glad it worked for you!! I did it on my Tundra about a year ago and it’s holding up great!
Just got the 2022 Tacoma and this is my project tomorrow. I got the "attitude black" paint, so I'm going to use the bright red plasti dip.
Great video!!!
@@FacelessMachine Sounds like it'll be beautiful!!
Awww thanks! I'm so hoping it will. 🥰
🙋♂️ loved the work. I have a few questions ???
Are all the four coatings 30 mins spaced?
Is it just the plastidip can needed to do this or do i need to buy primer or anything?
Yes every coat was spaced out at least that amount of time, or until dry. And only the plasti dip was used. only other product was alcohol to clean the letters first!
I did my front and rear emblems red to match my skirt pinstripping. It was so easy and was done in an hour
I bet that looks great! Glad it worked for you!
how an hour, at least 20 minutes between coats, with at least 4 or more coats, maybe 2 hours min,
@@Ck-jh7xp shut up
Do I absolutely need a garage to do this cuz I don’t have one
@@Ck-jh7xp You don’t need 30 minutes between coats moron. 10 mins max only 😂
Nice job, but I would personally debadge the Civic badge and just keep the H emblem in centre blacked out.
Excellent job thanks for posting it!!
Anytime! Thanks for watching!
Mine did not pull away like that. It acted more like regular paint. Had to use a plast tip to get the access off. Scratch part of the car. However I used a different brand this time.
Good video man! Just did my Jeep a couple weeks ago and I'm super happy with this stuff.
Yeah it has lasted a lot longer than I expected! Thanks for watching man!
@@kccreations5945 how long do you think it usually lasts??
@@haleymalec2416 Mine has been on my truck for over a year now and it looks the same as it did when I put it on! And I get multiple car washes each week
Other people say to add/mix products do/should I need to? I know you only used the spray but does it help or hurt paint less when mixing somthing with it?
Great video! Did you use pure rubbing alcohol or dilute it with water to clean the areas/what ratio if so? Did you use 70% or 90% isopropyl alcohol?
I don’t remember but I believe it was isopropyl, not sure of the percentage. Really just clean it with anything and let it dry first!
I suggest you use clear coat after you've done all of your layers. I did this to my car on the emblems and it came out really clean + it protects the plasti dip
Question please 😁, are you saying to clear coat before doing the peel off from around the letters, or after?
@@theamazinggoldfish8713 before
@@TheRealNuri thank you but won't that get over spray on the paint?
@@theamazinggoldfish8713 you just spray the clear coat over the plasti dip and it will peel of just like that.
@@TheRealNuri thank you I'll try it. I have an silver car so the black would just Pop unlike the chrome. Thanks again.
I've always thought those chromed plastic names on cars looked so tacky, making them black like that does make them look a bit better, but I just got the Ford Maverick and I'm glad the name is imprinted in the tailgate instead of just having those plastic letters stuck onto it... Thanks for the video, I'll probably find something to do this with, lol.
Blackout those ugly blue oval Ford emblems. Check out this video. I plan to try this when I get my Maverick... th-cam.com/video/HngQ2shAerk/w-d-xo.html
@@slick-rides I was thinking about that, mainly for that chrome rim around the logo. I personally don't mind the blue Ford emblems. Loved my 2005 F150 with its huge Ford emblem on the tailgate, lol.
@@TalkingHands308 Mine is going to be Carbonized Grey, so think the blacked out Ford oval will look better.
@@slick-rides Mine is also carbonized grey. I'm sure it'll look better, I just personally don't mind the logo showing in its original colors.
Too cool but what kind of spray did you use on your car
Wow man you saved me so much work 😅
Can you plasti dip the emblem on the steering wheel airbag cover without harming the cover finish? 2020 Honda Fit
Sure go for it!
Do the dash board while you at it 😆🤣
Cool, thanks for posting!
Finally a video with no BS
I tried to keep it simple! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
lets go! best video on youtube for this man deserve a sub! keep it going
My Man! Thanks so much!
How long do you have to wait after spraying the last layer before pealing it off the paint?
Who has done this.
How does it hold up too washing the car. Like drive in car washes. Or jet washers but obviously not going too close too coated area with pressure washer. Thanks
Nice mod, thank you! Greetings from Siberia, Russia =)
One question. Is it gonna stay after i use brush on the carwash for that element ? Or sponge ? Is it easy to take it off?
I go through a brushless car wash a couple tomes a week and mine looks the same after a year. I have been through the brushes 1 time and it didn’t affect it. I also haven’t taken it off so I don’t know but I have seen others just peel it easily!
Do you think it works for door handle?
I have chrome handles. Would plasti dip work on them, or is there to much contact for it to stay looking good?
Cheap, easy, and worth it every time🤙🏾
Does the plasti dip start peeling off overtime? If it does any idea on how to make it last longer?
Great👍🏻. How much this plastidip long last on the emblem with the color without fade off?? I want to try it.
If you ceramic coat the surface it can last for years
Hi, did you have to blade around the lettering before peeling off the excess?
It's not necessary to cut at all. The abrupt change in angle because of the raised letters almost acts as a sort of perforation. Just peel as close to the surface as possible and go slowly.
Painted it too, very pleased
How long does this last?
Is it durable and scratch resist ? want to black out my door interior panel and center console ,which is beige in colour and its plastic.
Read tons of comments and not a single person here seems like they’ve painted professionally. I watched your video for 5 seconds and can already tell you a HUGE no no that you’ve done before painting. NEVER use cloth that is dingy and falling apart to prep your painting surface. You risk whatever dirt/debris is caught in the strings being left behind on your prepped surface. You also risk leaving behind stray strings/threads that you wouldn’t notice without a thorough inspection. You can see thread caught under the plastidip in the before and after transition photos/videos. Sprayed paint unfortunately magnify whatever is caught underneath and only gets worse upon adding extra coats so it’s VERY crucial nothing stays on the surface and nothing lands on the surface while curing. Outside of that, your technique is great.
Thanks for the info man! Glad I did some of it right!
Microfibre towel?
@@sxmori that would probably work but if you’re cheap you can just use like a polyester type cloth. Essentially nothing stringy or falling apart just because a string may be left behind that you may not catch until you’ve sprayed your first layer. Nothing’s worse than picking cotton fiber out of your paint because you’ll almost never get a smooth texture again unless you wipe it down and start from scratch.
Your plasti dipping plastic emblems on a older civic.This isn’t painting stainless steel emblems on a Lambo! Who cares about the rag or threads on this temporary paint job this shit peels off easily! Start using a mask when you paint the fumes are obv making you brain dead!
@tysoncolindres5884 man for someone who replied just to talk smack, you really don't even know the year of this civic he's painting emblems on. Also, why go through the effort of making something look good and not do the best job you can? Sounds like someone's brain dead from fumes and let me tell you, it isn't me. Car is at least a 2016. If you think a 2016, or any car for that matter, shouldn't look good just because of the years it has on it, you obviously aren't someone who appreciates fine detail or truly enjoys preserving their work.
I have a 2022 Honda Civic and I want plasti - dip the wheel center caps H emblem in red. How would you go about that?
I think this would easily peel off dont you think? Like peeling around what you did. Might do it to my Toyota Celsior.
did i miss plastic dip parts?
how did u pit it ???
How long will this last usually? I'm assuming it'll wear off quite quickly if you wash your car often?
I live where roads are salted for winter and constantly wash my car with two bucket method and pressure washer. My emblems look as good as they did 3 years ago when I plasti-dipped them. I imagine getting too close with a pressure washer would remove the coating but with a little common sense plasti-dip can actually hold up for a very long time.
Doing this tomorrow on my day off!!!
😂 Same!
great video, did you wait for it to dry to remove the newspaper and tape or straight after the last coat?
I would wait for it to dry all the way!
Is plasti dip durable? If it comes off the body of the car so easily, will it come off the emblems/logos just as easily?
Like will it be durable in car washes? Or is this something that has to be done periodically?
It’s not a permanent solution but I’ve had mine on my truck for at least 6 months now and go through the car wash at least twice a week and it looks the same as it did! Just make sure to Do 4-5 coats!
Some people plastidip their entire car and say it lasts 2-3 years
How long it's last. ? And what happened when you go wash your car ?
Did they have a variety of colors for the spray plasti stuff? I’m really wanting to do baby pink on my black civic hatchback.
Yes tons of colors!!
If you wanted to spray a clear coat of plasti dip over the black to give a high gloss would you do it after you have peeled the black or before?
Probably before you’ve peeled it since you have a newspaper covering it and it won’t get on your car!
Damn wish I would of seen this 6 tries ago! You made it look so easy imma redo mine so 7th times a charm lol
Hope it works out for you man!!
How u mess up 6 times bruh
When I did pulled off the surrounding over spray around my car emblem, the emblem got ripped off 🙄🤦♂️
why is the spray not loosing its strong hold on the letters but only on the car ? Do you have to use a kind of knife around the letters ?
Body shop tip put newspaper on hood. Tape edge remove it from the hood and place where you want it.
Great video!
Quick question, why 30 minutes between spray coating?
Drying times
@@danielforsyth1109 obviously, but why wait instead of just put the full coat on then let it dry 🤷🏾♂️
30 mins too long. 15 mins is perfectly fine
@@Jah42O Long time since your message but you want to apply small coats because if you over spray, you will begin to see the plastidip liquid dripping. the finish will not look as smooth and finish product wont look as "professional".
What plastidip brand did you use?
how long do they last after applying the paint? does it change color or get affected by UV?
I put 4 coats on my truck in March of 2020 and it's peeling. My truck is always outside so if it's garage kept i would think it will last longer
@@christophergilbert519 Thank you 😊
I won’t be doing this, but smartest way to do this I’ve seen
Thanks!
Thats an amazing video. My problem is that i want paint a color by each letter which i needed to buy 4 spray 😅
This is the right Way!!!!! Thanks
great job 🤜🏼🤛🏼
So the plastidip will just pull of without coming off the letters?
Man the previous owner of my car did this and when I removed the badges I could see where he ran the razer through smh. Don’t use to much pressure guys (obviously). Or just try to cover as much area as you can with the tape before you spray (put tape between letters, inside the letters, around the letters, etc..) so that you won’t have to use the razor.
What razor? Lol
Toothpicks are your friend
But how does it stay on the letters, even around the edges, and not peel off? Do you apply something to the letters and not the paint? Or vice versa? How do3s i5 not peel off the letters? Or do you use an exact knife and outline every letter?
it's plastidip not paint. the emblems arent painted. the car is. plastidip wont stick to paint but it will to the emblems
@@AK-gb9rp Thanks - I had this exact same question!
I wish would be as simplistic as this video best video eva
Looks simple sweet
Do you have to put anything on the badges before that? Like plastic on top of the badges? I’m new to this I just don’t want paint on my actual car
It’s not paint it’s plasti dip. You can feel it right off you’ll be fine.
How long should i wait after applying my final coat before i start peeling? (obviously when dry) 4-5hours as it says on the can?
Yes I would go by the can for sure! That’s what I did!
For some reason when I did mine, the plastidip attracted so much dust. I could never get it fully cleaned. I thought I followed all the steps but I must have messed up somewhere.
how long should you let the final coat dry before peeling away??
I’ve been doing 10 minutes for the 1st and 2nd. 3rd and 4th coat 30+ minutes. It’s amazing! Doing it on a mazda3
can you spray in a different color? my girl would love pink.
How is this holding up long term ? Does it easily come off ? Esp the car wash and stuff
I did my charger and it lasted 4 years without a touch up. Front grill is different because of highway debris chips at it
Nice video! thought about doing this and it honestly doesn't look bad at all. Looks like a nice alternative to save money if that is your goal. But I think I will spend the $$ and get the OEM gloss black emblems for my 2021 accord sport 2.0
Sounds like a plan man! If you liked the content hit that thumbs up and subscribe! Thanks for watching Junior!
How do those work? Do you install them yourself ?
Will it stay after car wash??
Wondering if putting a masking tape over the logo and squeeging out the emblem and cutting out would be cleaner / faster end result
I used Plasti Dip to make my shiny white security cameras matte black. It's good stuff.
I’m dead! Thanks for the laugh.
How good is it when it comes down to washing your car, does it last long?
You should get about 3-5 years from 4 coats. If you do more coats you'll get more time on it.
Looked better before!
@@searcher3x what if you use a self wash that has high pressure
@@temtongu9481 It lasts a good 5-10 years depending on prep. I've had great success with it. I've done a whole car and recently did my gas cap on my challenger. I've used other products but honestly plasti dip is the most durable, when prepped right.
These last through car washes?
I want to try this on my BMW 135i. I think I might try it on my Chebrolet Spark first though. Lol!
this is the most honda civic mod ever i love it
Hahaha Amen!
how does it go through the car wash? or just washing your car in general
It does great through the car wash! I've had it on my truck for longer than I did on the civic (9 months) and it still looks the same. I go through the car wash about 2 times a week.
Newby question. How does the Plastidip know not to peel off the emblem?
Will it last for long ? Even you always wash it , thanks in advanced !
Yes it does!
if you decide you are not happy with the finished product can you remove it ?
Yeah for sure! It just peels off!
@@kccreations5945 if it just peels off what keeps it on the car over time and car washes etc. ??
@@rwoods7979over a couple years of washing your car and sun damage it’ll start to come off. I did mine on my 2017 Camry in 2021 and now I’m redoing it but it doesn’t take long so. You can make it permanent by taking the emblem off the vehicle and priming and painting it off the car
