yea i feel the same way about the door handles. To many people touch them and use them to swing the door open. Especially if you don't warn them to be gentle it'll eventually rip. I didn't use enough on my rear emblem so it didn't come out perfect, but its good enough. Used 4 coats but didn't use alot around it so it was harder to peel off.

worth keeping in mind that it doesn't respond so well to heat, and it sometimes makes it tougher to get back off...

how do you get the cut lines on the edges of the emblems? or does it naturally make the clean line?

also, would have been nice to see the actual spraying in the video to see how far you were, and how many passes etc.

nice job

Tongman, I'm thinking this is looking really nice on the MB, and I may just have to do the same on mine!

One last thing: Thanks for showing your support for the 80's by playing some Soft Cell during your most instructional video!

nice work

Just don't spray your entire car like this guy and have to deal with all the problems. It removed his paint while he was removing it

.... Maybe because of the pressure washer

Yeah def the power washer... they will strip paint fairly easily, especially when the jack-off is doing it from point blank range...

after you sprayed the area several times.. did you have to outline the emblem with an exacto knife or razor blade before peeling off the surrounding area?..

Nah, watch the video in the OP's 1st post and you'll see how it worked.

ducky · 08-07-2011, 11:10 PM

It will peel right off..no knife or razor..

Did mine today. Came out great. Let's see if it holds up to the heat of AZ!

I went and bought a can with the intention of doing this myself. I think it would look especially nice on my brilliant silver. I had it all masked off and getting ready to spray. My wife came out and said, "What are you doing? That's gonna' be ugly. I like the shiny silver." Sigh. So I didn't spray it. I think I need to grow some.

Yes please grow a pair. My car is silver and I am thinking about doing this when I get home so I would love to see what it looks likes on the emblems and sports package rims.
