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.
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.
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
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
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.

@@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!
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.
@@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.
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 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.
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.
It's not enough coating, I usually do 7 coats until the emblemings are totally covered. The problem with plastic dip is they start to peel overtime, you're better off just buying a can of Black paint and spray painting the emblemings but you'll have to remove them to do that.
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!!
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!!!
🙋♂️ 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!
dont ever use rubbing alcohol on your car it eats the clear coat which will eventually lead to rust over the years from exposed painted metal with no clear coat protecting it. water and soap followed by a water rinse off and than microfiber dry off is all you need.
70% or more diluted will not harm your clear coat in an instance like this. 90% can harm it if overused. It will wear it down a bit but it takes a lot to wear through and expose the paint. I personally get 90% and dilute it 50/50 with water for automotive use.
The plasti dip sticks to the plastic lettering and emblems better than it does to the clear coat over the paint, just be careful, it can peel from the emblems too
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.
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.
How long will this last before having to reapply? And if it starts to peel, I assume you'd need to fully remove the first attempt before you're able to reapply in the future?
I did this on my Santa Fe and it lasted no peels winter/summer seasons for 3 years. I’ve since sold the car and the new owners loved the look and said they were going to keep it like that, I just got a civic and will be doing it now on it
@@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.
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?
@@theheartlandgroup757 But the paint was going from the car’s bodywork to model letters in one continuous film so I also don’t understand why it comes away so easily!
Maybe because he sprayed from all directions, which allowed the dip to get under the emblems a bit and when he pulled, the plastic simply gave away to the sharpness of the underside of the emblem (he was pulling up after all). Not sure if that makes any sense.
I bought a Ford cmax hybrid and I'm amused, the last owner Plasti dipped the emblems on the back and the wheels. The paint is black and so are the wheels and the emblems and the interior 😂 surprised they didn't tint the windows.
Nice job. Only small comment is that u use very thick layers en keeping the can somehwat to close to the emblems. Thinner layers would be much better. And keep peeling away from the letters instead of towards it.
With plastidip you want a light first coat, followed by 3-4 heavy, overlapping coats. It creates a smoother finish. This stuff isn't paint, it also helps to soak the can/cans in warm water for around 10 minutes beforehand for an even smoother finished product.
@@ZombieAlpaca I found doing several light coats, 7 actually, worked particularly well on 2 plastic forward facing parts on 1 of my motorbikes, its been years now since they were sprayed and its still the same as the day I sprayed them, nice light overlapping coats 30 mins apart
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.
@@haleymariefoster 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
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.
@@JahGotWings 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".
Why does the plasti dip separate when peeling back? From painted surface to letter emblems, is it not still a solid application? How is the finish so clean without any cutting??
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?
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!
@@kccreations5945 thanks for getting back so fast. I'm nervous to try it, but it looks pretty easy. How long does it take to dry? Is yours still holding up okay?

As advice also, you must do the spraying in quite cold place below 25C. Hot place will spoil the process.

How come it doesn’t peel or the letters if they’re all shiny surfaces and it’s all one layer
All I really care about is the dog you can hear walking around in the background 😂
Wondering if putting a masking tape over the logo and squeeging out the emblem and cutting out would be cleaner / faster end result
I think this would easily peel off dont you think? Like peeling around what you did. Might do it to my Toyota Celsior.
Awesome project, also good comment helpful tips.
Newby question. How does the Plastidip know not to peel off the emblem?
How much horsepower does this add?
40hp
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.
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
@@JahGotWings 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".
Nice work! What is the name of the sound track ?😅
Thats an amazing video. My problem is that i want paint a color by each letter which i needed to buy 4 spray 😅
Not bad…what’s the little black streak under “Civic”? Didn’t notice that before.
Overspray. I'm certain he rubbed it off after
Precum?
Just wrap it ? Less orange peel look and as a glossy Premium look.
Takes a lot longer and is definitely trickier for people that haven’t wrapped before
Even if u have experience wrapping emblems is a PITA lol
Why does the plasti dip separate when peeling back? From painted surface to letter emblems, is it not still a solid application? How is the finish so clean without any cutting??
How does it hold up with jet washing car. Great video !
It does great! I have had it on my truck over a year and it hasn’t come off yet! I get my truck washed at least once a week
Too cool but what kind of spray did you use on your car
Does it stay on after washing your car? Or does it peel off?
Did it on my Tahoe, did about 4 coats. It's stayed on for about 2 and a half years now with no chips or anything. It'll hold even with washing
@@bigd7072 Did you use any plasti dip glossifier by any chance or just the spray?
@@ラブユー-n8y no I did not, that is an option though if you want a more glossy look instead of a matte black
@@bigd7072 okay, thanks for the reply!
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?
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!!
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 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 want to try this on my BMW 135i. I think I might try it on my Chebrolet Spark first though. Lol!
Wonder if this will work for the Tesla chrome delete.
I’m not sure why it wouldn’t!
I’ll rap instead, last longer and look better.
How long is the drying time before peeling? Thanks for sharing.
About 30 minutes depending on temperature and humidity.
can you give me the link to get this? would greatly appreciate it!
It’s the cheapest at Walmart! I just got flat black Plasti-Dip
How does it not pull off of the lettering too?
No idea… I think it creates a natural perforation since the plasti-dip isn’t attaching in the space between letters and the car body
@@kccreations5945 thanks for getting back so fast. I'm nervous to try it, but it looks pretty easy. How long does it take to dry? Is yours still holding up okay?
Doesn't alcohol ruin the paint of the car?
Nice video!
It didn't seem too, it's just cleaning it. It's not paint thinner or anything that strong.
@@kccreations5945
I used it on my beloved commodore monitor and destroyed its color :'(
How long it's last. ? And what happened when you go wash your car ?
