Worried about doing the front emblem on my Z. The front bumper has a clear bra on it and I have not found anyone that says if pastidip stains or alters the clear bra in any way.

Obviously, I will be peeling it off the clear bra but I do not want it to leave a stain.

Go to where you had the clear bra installed and see if they can give you a scrap to try out the Plasti-Dip on. I'm sure if you explain what you want to do they will understand.

You could try putting some painter's tape on the clear bra before you start spraying so that none of it goes on the clear bra itself.

Personally I dont see why it would mess up clear bra. Its just spray rubber. Im not positive but I would assume you would be fine.

It did not come off easily, it broke off at the edges which caused me to spend a couple of hours scrubbing it off in tight spots and I'm probably going to have to take the handles off this weekend to get into some of the small cracks/spaces. My suggestion if you want to make your door handles black, just spend the extra money and have a professional paint/powercoat them.

Did it leave any kind of residue or fogginess when u took it off after 3months?or was it just hard to get off?

Thanks for the helpful information. I taped off most of the clear bra and the front hamburger came out good. There are little pieces of black plastic that got caught on the edge of the clear bra but for the most part I was able to get it all out.

Thanks again!

Thinking about doing my door handles and emblems either tonight or sometime this weekend. For those of you who have plasti dipped the door handles, did you take them off the car or just spray them while they were still on the car?

Yeah I saw that when looking back in the thread and that's what I'm going to do. Going to do them in gunmetal like the wheels, but I'm gonna try putting the glossifier on top to give it a more glossy finish and hopefully a bit smoother texture. The plan is for 4 coats of black, 3 coats of silver metallizer, and then 2-3 coats of the glossifier.
