Plastidip on Vibrant Red

I cannot believe how simple this was! What I've learned after doing it a couple of times is to spray several light coats to get the good peel at the end. Everyone should Plastidip their emblems! It makes a hugh difference on light color cars. Enjoy!

Looks sick. I would try hiting up the chrome around the fog lights, I think it would look amazing.

Holy cow! You dipped your spoiler, too?

The whole job looks pro. Excellent. And this is from one PlastiDipper to another. (My pics of dipped emblems on Blue Slate coupe are posted in the PlastiDip DIY thread.)

Thanks guys for all the compliments! The dip job turned out better than I thought, and it was my first time doing it. Shout out to all the guys that provided the DIY posts.

I did try twice dipping the chrome on the "S" but every time I tried to peel off the dip off the red part, I ended up peeling off the chrome part I wanted to leave out. Any suggestions? Thanks again guys.

Here's what I did and it worked like a charm. Plasti-dip the whole S, red and chrome. Let it dry properly, I left mine over night, then with a scalpel trace around the red S cutting the rubbery coating. It should peel right off the red S and remain on the chrome. Worked on my first try!
