Plastidipped Badges, opinions?
I plastidipped all of my badges today, after a wash. When I began to peel the 86 badge on the passenger side, it peeled away more than I intended. I was going to take it all off and redo it, but after I removed most of it, the circle in the center was still black. I kind of like it, so I think I'll keep it that way.

I like the look. I have matte black badges on mine, but used paint because I don't like the Plastidip texture. I like what you did with the 86 piston.

Your car. Go for it! I like it.

Plastidip looked good before everyone started doing it. Now it doesn't have an exclusive look anymore. But some plastidip just looks plain wrong no matter what.
|
Try the exact opposite with the 86 logo. Everything black, but the actual number

the use of plasti dip is getting old now. all i see are the people driving old civics plasti dip random parts of their ugly ass rusted out car.

I have to disagree, I used plastidip on my vettes rear valance, and it looked incredible. I think it just depends on how you use it, and how decent a job you do applying it. For something like badges, I think it looks great. I'm going to be plastidipping the hideous two-tone wheels with the black, and applying the silver metallizer, likely this week or next.

I'm not familiar with plastidip, but could you remove the 4 squares on the inside of the 86 part of the piston logo? That would give it more contrast rather than just looking like a black circle.

It looks great. Who cares what people do to their civics, as long as it looks great on your car.
|
Added a pic of the rear, had to delete the ugly dealer plate frame, haven't found a replacement yet.

I love the look, and it looks like you do too. It's a bummer it's too popular but whatever man. I plan on dipping my emblems when it's warmer outside.
I also debadged my FR-S logo, you might interested in doing that too. |
