    The emblem pops off very easily with light pressure on the two top tabs...the bottom tab has a slight lip on it and once you pop the top two you just move the emblem forward to release the bottom tab.

    The plasti-dip will peel off of it quite easily w/out issue.

    It is actually easier to separate the grille into smaller pieces vs mask all that off. Takes minutes to pull apart carefully.

    I know this is a 3rd Gen forum but for those of you wondering about durability, this was my old truck and I dipped the badges, grill, and chrome bumper inserts. Went through many trails and hard washes afterwards and held strong for 5 years. Only 5 coats

    I found the Tacoma badges in matte black but not the V6. Dipped it last night and now I'm thinking I shouldn't have ordered the others. I'm impatient though.

    Have you or has anybody pressure washed your wheels after plastidipping them?
    Do they come off?

    I took my truck up to the coin car wash and sprayed the shit out it and no peels , before I sprayed everything I washed it down and then cleaned it with 70% alcohol and dryed it good so it bonded great

    I never dipped my wheels just the grille and emblems, but that is a good question about brake dust on rims

    I think many of us including myself who have not tried dipping are concerned about washing and rubbing...Anyone?

    I dipped my hood scoop the other day... there was some bug crap on it and I took a paper towel to rub it off.... It scratched the shit outta it... I had to add another coat of Dip.... I'm not sure this shit is any good ...long term...
