    nope, all the emblems/badges are painted with krylon fusion (satin black)... i used that for the BHLM too.. at the time either derp didn't exist or i hadn't heard of it... otherwise i would have used it.. it was a PITA to remove the emblems and put them back on when you compare it to plastidip

    if i need to touch these up i will derp them without hesitation..

    Looks sick! Did you remove your grill or stick some cardboard over the radiator? I'm going to hit all my emblems just as soon as its warm enough outside to spray (no garage...)

    pop your hood and you can pop the front emblem off in about a minute, super easy, then you can give it a quick spray in the house.

    for you guys that plasti dip'd your wheels, how durable was it and how long did it last? i am already noticing spots bubbling and peeling and it's barely been a month.

    im too picky to have that, lol, im already looking at ordering some black wheels, just trying to find the best place and price to order online. i wanted to put on spacers anyway so i might as well pay a bit more and get wheels instead.

    What kind of prep work did you guys do prior do dipping your wheels? I'm planning on doing mine within the next couple of weeks...

    i removed them from my truck, washed them really well, taped them and sprayed them. i am not sure if other people are doing anything different but i didn't want to sand mine with the chance i might just peel it off.

    I thought the whole point of plasti dip was so that you didnt have to sand though. If youre going to sand it you might as well paint it... Dang it this is killing my mood for dipping my shit next week since Im going to be doing wheels, bumpers and grill :mad:

    that's what i thought too, but the durablility isn't very good, that's just my experience, i am also in -20 and snow up here, that might have something to do with it.

    Cosmetic stuff.... best part HomerTaco Raptor Grille. Need to get a lift, armor and lockers.
    I've had my wheels dipped since July and nothing's peeling. I'm in upstate ny. I've put a solid 10,000 miles on them since then. No sanding. Just cleaned them with a wheel cleaner rinsed dried and dipped. No need for sanding.

    I left them on my truck, put a plastic bag around the brake components, and sprayed away. Then pealed it off the tires. It only pealed off the wheel weight. Everything else is all good
