Blacked out 335i emblem! The easy way!

Rafstar · 09-29-2010, 09:55 PM

A buddy of mine forwarded me this link and I decided to try it out: http://myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-instal...-and-easy.html

All you need is a can of Plasti Dip!

-Tape up car
-Spray 3-4 coats on emblem
-Let it dry 15-20min per coat
-Remove tape
-Remove Plasti DIP on cars body

Also got my car retinted today (Small preview until photoshoot)

gnhm3 · 09-29-2010, 11:55 PM

Stupid question but what about the spray that gets on the cars paint? Does it wipe off?

Yes, thats the whole point of plasti dip! You can take it off by rubbing it with your finger. If u get some overspray just clay it or rub it with a micro fiber.

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 09-30-2010, 12:08 AM

.. but wont it rub off the badge? or is it designed to 'bond' to plastic?

sticks to the plastic. peels off very easily from the body of the car

sole cal · 09-30-2010, 12:16 AM

I used to mess with plastidip back in the day on my friends vdubs, time to paint my emblems

gnhm3 · 09-30-2010, 12:20 AM

Another stupid question, where could I buy this locally. Thanks lol

In the states, they have some at Home depot! I had to get mine from a buddy who got it from the states because they dont distribute the product in Canada.

Was it difficult getting the excess black off in between the grooves of the lettering?

balla704 · 09-30-2010, 01:14 AM

ibeclueless · 09-30-2010, 05:37 AM

RON1X · 09-30-2010, 07:49 AM

rummy · 09-30-2010, 09:01 AM

This is a brilliant trick!

Jonny550 · 09-30-2010, 09:08 AM

Their was another guy that did this but he used actual spray paint and not plasti-dip. he had to put tape very precisely in between the numbers. But this is a much better idea although i got my emblems for $12 from ebay.

ac09lude · 09-30-2010, 09:09 AM

What did u use to get the rest off?

gtrokin330 · 09-30-2010, 09:46 AM
