    UPDATE:
    Bought TWO cans... and the minute I got home popped my front Toyota logo off (super easy, just as described.) First coat applied one minute after, getting ready for the second coat now. Stoked !!!
    P.S. - bought at Lowes for $5.98 per can (before my military discount.)

    Think I'm gonna do the rest of the front chrome next... just gotta have some more time (this weekend) and give a good look to see how to take it off. I've been told its not that hard either. THIS front badge was kinda my trial piece.

    get a small zacto knife just in case you need to make score marks and then a box of tooth picks. Tooth picks wont damage your paint when you're prying the excess up.

    The thicker the coat, the easier it is to peel off later down the road

    Looks awesome , I did my bumpers , grill ,rims, wheel flares a couple months ago when I bought the truck , It was bone stock ( factory ) looking . Its amazing how a little bit of Plasti dip makes all the difference in appearance , and its so inexpensive and easy to work with . Did my tundra b4 I bought my tacoma with plastidip .

    Did my hood. Need a few more coats. I'm planning on having it painted in the future and figured this would be a good way to see how it would look

    Oh...my bad, haha. Taking the grill off is easy. I think its just 4 of those plastic clips and done. Takes maybe 1 minute, lol. In case you haven't done it before.

    On another note, I would really like to dip the whole truck in the blaze orange to see what it would be like. But seems like a lot of work and if I don't like it then it's even more work to remove it all, lol
