Plasti dip car badge tutorial

Post by Barraclough »

Just done so shall share how super easy this is as well as cheap and effective

1. Gather bits needed;
Plasti dip aerosol
Masking tape
Paper
Tooth pick or similar
Paper towel

Image

2. Use the paper towel to clear any dust or dirt then mask around it leaving a gap

Image

3. Start with a really light coat making sure so cover all the area

Image

4. Keep building coats every 5 minutes, I did 5 coats

Image

Image

5. Remove masking tape and paper, be careful not to bring the paint up with it.

Image

6. Start from one corner and the excess around the badge will really easily peel off

Image

Image

7. For the inner fiddly bits, use a tooth pick or something similar to break a hole and it will start to peel really easily

Image

Image

And the result
Image

Such an easy cheap and good looking mod, highly recommended!!!

Very cool look!
I don't know how long lasting spraying a badge is tho as they're pretty difficult to key for the coat

Plasti dip requires no sanding or primer. Just a clean surface.

It really does seem to be amazing stuff. Used alot on alloys as you dont even need to take off the tyres lol.

I doubt leather would be suitable. I would imagine it needs to be something solid that dosen't flex.
