Default Blacked out emblems on black.

I finally got around to experimenting with plastidip today. The stuff is impossible to find around here, I actually had to pick it up on a business trip to the US. Checked bags for no good reason other than to keep them from stealing it from me at airport security.

At any rate, application was very easy and I think it turned out pretty well. Cleans up the back end without actually having to remove the emblems and deal with the holes. Obviously, this won't work unless your car is black.

Thought I'd share how it turned out. I have no idea how long it'll last and continue to look decent - especially after winter hits and I run through a few automatic car washes in the deep freeze.

I think it looks good. Where did you buy the plastidip and how much? I'm going down to the US for Canada Day long weekend and might try this on my IS350
