vinyl wrap or plasti dip fr-s emblem?
 
Has anyone plasti dip or vinyl wrap their FR-S emblem? I got some extra red vinyl and thinking about reddding out only the S.

Ive wrapped a car with excellent results so I am familiar with vinyl. I would personally try plasti-dip. If you've got vinyl try it first as it's easier to rip off. But the tight complex curves of the logo might be hard to wrap. Also keep in mind its easier to tape off an area that you dont want to spray than it is to make a perfect cut in vinyl. Either way their both cheap options.

vinyl will have a nicer finish

My family owns a vinyl business. While vinyl would be cheaper route I fill like you have better luck with the dip lasting longer and holding up to weather better.

I will probably plasti dip my FR-S wheels and emblem when getting my car in February.

I plastidipped my emblems black two months ago and it still looks like the day i did them, no issues at all

Plastidip is the easy way to go. It's how I did mine. Clean, easy, fast.
I imagine vinyl will be much harder to install but you'll get a smooth finish (the plastidip is rubber so it has some texture).

Yeah very easy.

Did you release the emblems before paint it?

I saw some videos and they don't remove it, only remove the extra plastidip on the paint after the apply.

I left the emblems on there and taped off like a 10in square with painters tape
and some printer paper and basically did 4 coats on a 5x5in square around
the emblems and after those dried i peeled off the over spray super easy
because of the taping off i did, super easy really. :thumbup:
