...yeah I watched that the other day. Fonzie whipped up some more dip godliness for sure. I think they turned out awesome.

Just ordered the metalizer wheel kit from their website. Going to do my wheels in that gunmetal (black+ silver metalizer) color and then do my roof gloss black.

Oh yea. I'm going to do my FJ in this.

I just ordered three cans of the glossifier. I'm going to try it on my roof for that glossy black look.

Maybe you could try taking a photo of the emblem, printing it to scale and the cutting a mask out of it - so you'd have the perfect guide.

I like the result and would probably try if I didn't have a black car

I need a little help with blacking out my fangs. I did the rear valance yesterday and it came out awesome. I put it on in a thick coat and while it was wet I pulled the tape and it left a crisp line.
Now for the front I tried the same but when I pulled the tape it had dried enough that it pulled some plasti dip off with it. Now I have to clean it off and start all over again.

I am looking for some tips for doing the fangs.

Should I just put three thin coats, let it dry fully and use a new razor blade to lightly cut the plasti dip?
Or is there a better way?

Thanks

About to try this stuff on my emblems today now that the weather is nice...As pathetic as it may sound, I'm scared to death lol! Even though I've read all the posts and watched the DIY video there's just something about spraying black paint on my white car thats a bit nerve-racking! Ha!

Just make sure you mask generously and you should be fine.

Are you going flat or gloss?

You can accomplish the same finish, if not better, with Rustoleum's Metallizer paints. I realize you can eventually peel this stuff off, but that's a lot of prep and spraying for something that isn't going to be permanent.

Ok so I finished 4 coats on the front and rear emblems. I think they came out pretty good. There were a couple small spots on the top of the burgers where the paint was very light and there were a couple silver specs shining through...but I touched them up with a brush afterwards. How easily is this stuff to peel off the emblems if my OCD makes me want to redo them down the road? Anyways, here a couple pics. Sorry for the crappy quality, it's raining so I had to take them in my garage.

I'm sure your right, but the beauty of the plasti-dip is you ca maintain the OEM finish when it comes time to sell your ride (should you ever sell it, that is).
