Good job! Do you have a rear 3/4 view of the whole car after this?

I might be tempted to do the tail too.

Typically I prefer less lettering on the tail, but in this case I really like that look, nice job!
In that pic it looks like your car is a two-tone w/ a milky gray as your main color, what color is your car, Liquid platinum?

That looks about 10x better than I expected when I clicked on thread. As the above poster asked, what is your paint color and what plastidip did you use?

Also: did you use blue masking tape to line the emblems back up and what did you use to reattach? I have debadged before, but never rebadged, lol.

Also #2: wonder if you could do the trunk lip to provide some replaceable protection? Mine is kind of beat up.

Before I got my deck spoiler I P-dipped that chrome lip, looked pretty good and it's simple to remove for painting.

Here is a 3/4 view. My only color is graphite shadow.
I used regular spray plasti dip cost me like $6 at lowes and I just used some blue painters tape and some brown packing paper to protect the rest of the car. Whatever overspray you get just peels right off. That is 8 coats because you have to spray lightly because it will look too bubbly if you put to much to fast.

To answer your question about re-attaching I sprayed these while they were on the car I didn't remove them

I'm sure you could do the trunk lid if you wanted to

I think I am too chicken to spray it on the car...even though I know it comes right off.

Did you just cut tiny pieces of tape for the spaces in the N's and F or just scrape it out when you were done?

Nope I didn't cut any small pieces of tape it just peels right off all the painted surfaces as long as you put enough coats to make it thick enough. I wouldnt do less than 5 coats. I actually had a large area of overspray...this is what it looked like while I was doing it

That came out really good. I am actually thinking of doing this to my wheels (in the Charcoal color).
