For those of you who have plasti-dipped your badges, did you take them off first, or do it with them on the car? Seems like it'd be hard to mask off some of the edges of the Infiniti badge itself, etc.

Oh interesting. So did you use an exacto knife at all to cut out the tape/paper on the inside of the logo, or were you able to wedge the newspaper behind it?
And did you use glossifier or the metallic spray on the badge as well? Thanks!

For the color, its about 3 coats of anthracite, a coat of metallizer, and a coat of gloss.

No there is no masking going inside the emblem, just a square about 2 or 3 inches around the area to deal with overspray. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8Gfd46AxLw

While were critiquing, Also probably not super wise using a metal screwdriver that has been scraped on the cement to remove the pieces inside the emblem.

Read through this whole thread and found some things I've picked up for under $40 that weren't talked about so here we go.
Silicon key fob case that slips right onto the key. I love it. Feels great and I know the key is fine if it falls out of my pocket or if I'm throwing it in my gym bag.

I've only had my car a few weeks but I've noticed the seatbelt kinda digs into my neck so I also picked these up
They got mixed reviews and mine are in the mail but for $5 I said why not. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096EFVBO..._h57KxbV508RMS
Roughly $15 for the logo ground projection when you open the door KingCK Infiniti 1 Min Easy Installation HD Car Door Logo Projector Pack of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KZD8ME8..._N67KxbKKCDEEW
I've also dipped my emblems and (super easy and worth it). I painted my stock rims semi gloss black and they look amazing (paint + materials ~$40)

I think 2ft by 5ft should be plenty, eBay or Amazon is probably your best bet. And don't go cheap on the vinyl, I ordered some China vinyl for my steering wheel trim and I had to redo it recently, I used 3m carbon fiber vinyl and it is night and day in terms of quality. Bargains are great, but here you get what you pay for.
