Default Plasti-dipped Emblems!

I plasti-dipped my emblems with the smoke effect and I will use some glossifier tomorrow, in hopes it will shine up the emblem, giving it a black chrome effect. I will probably give the front a couple more coats of smoke.

If that's the case, not a fan of dipping the fronts.

Yep pretty much was a pain in the **** to even take it off so I gave up and did it that way.

Almost, when I put the glossifier on for front emblem for the rear it actually looked pretty close to it but more of a matte black pearl effect.

Damn that looks good. Might return the black and get the smoked. Did you get the plastic dip at the local auto part store? At Lowe's the options are limited to black, white, red, and HOT ORANGE! lol. I dunno how hot orange fits in the primary colors but for Lowe's it does. lol
