just did a trial run with the plasti dip, actually is much darker in person, the plasti dip I got with like 4-5 coats is a very dark shade of black almost a lil glossy too. Since I didn't have enough time tonight I just removed the front plsti dipped emblem, I will be doing all the emblems sometime this week and post pics. Should be interesting how they turn out, and as mentioned masking is the most important part, something I learned on my trial run.
