Well I was awake early this morning so decided to try out the plasti dip I ordered the other day and I must say how easy it is to use great stuff I done the badges on the back of the car thinking do I do the grill too ? [Image: 2c61c1e780b39c5786433fe325661623.jpg]

Ordered a tin of plasti dip off eBay
I started by cleaning the badge with a cloth to get rid of any dust etc
I then taped off about a inch around from the badge and covered bumper etc with newspaper just in case of over spray
Start by giving it a light coat 1st just to cover the badge and give it 10-15 mins to dry repeat this 4/5 times then wait about 1 hour and start peeling off the tape and the spray with peel off the paintwork and just leave the badge covered

Not the best how too I will try and take some pictures when I do the grill

How Did you do the front badge? How did you do the red under the black?
