Yeah finally got my emblems on the ES done. Not as clean took me 4 trys still not perfect can see chrome on the L logo still have to do the front.

And I left the plasti dip inbetween the letters because with SGM you cant tell and it looks pretty nice. What you guys think?

How are you guys getting the plasti dip from inbetween the emblems? When I try to get the plasti dip out from the middle of the emblem or from inbetween the letters it peels off from the letters too?
