just did this last night to my SC300 badges and they came out great follow the directions in the first post and you will be fine.
one thing i will ad though is make sure you clean the spray nozzle on the can as the plasti dip will start to harden around the nozzle and cause the spray to be off

Hey guys,
I tried this this weekend without success. My lexus emblems and IS250 turned out well, but the grill, and big L in the back we awful. Long story short, and dont ask me why, but I removed the big L to try and get it cleaner...then went I went to reapply some 3M double sided tape, it started to come off, the plastidip. I'm thinking what I should is just have them powdercoated...will this work? And also, what is the best way to get the emblems back on the car in a clean way? Please please please help out. Thanks!

I took the whole grill off and sprayed both pieces separately. The chrome part has been fine, it's off no problem, if the slotted grill that is tough. I will experiment. If you guys have any ideas let me know though.
