Plasti Dip Badges
Hi All
Picked up a can of black plasti dip (~$20 Autobarn) yesterday afternoon and decided to give my Toyota badges the once over on my 2013 mt fuji red 86.
Ive never painted anything in my life and was quite skeptical about the results but im pleased to say that it was super easy and the finished product looks great. The plasti dip gives a nice even matte finish.
Steps:
1. Cleaned the badge area with water and a chamois
2. Masked the area around the badge (newspaper and tape)
3. Sprayed 5 coats of plasti dip allowing 25-30 minutes drying time per coat. Each coat should be a nice even, wet layer. Spray consistently from left to right using the masking as your start/finish point.
4. After allowing the final coat to dry, peeled of masking and plasti dip around the badge. This comes away from the edges very easily.
5. Used a toothpick to remove the plasti dip from the inside areas (a little time consuming if youve got a shaky hand!)
6. Enjoy
I also removed the rear "Toyota" badge giving it a much cleaner look. Im really happy with the results and if I can do it, anyone can. Its a simple mod that can be easily reversed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
