This Plasti Dip product is Awesome!

Did you use an x-acto knife for around the emblem and in between.

I use toothpicks when pulling the plasti dip within an emblem. Don't want to use something too sharp and scratch the paint.

Usually, since this was from what i can tell first started on the ClubLexus forums, but has been around for some time, I have a IS250 as well as a new z34, but i have done this numerous times.

1. Spray all coats on 4-5 (total), about 15 min apart in each pass. Ensure that you stay approx. 6in to 8in off the surface
2. Once finished, use finger to peel large area surface extras off first.

3. For minute and small crevises, use a dull pointed plastic tool - Plastic Needles from Walmart Sewing and Crafts section I found work perfect. Twist the point of your tool (plastic is best for this process) till the Excess twirls around the tip, using tweezers or needle nose pliers, grab excess and gently pull away from surface. VOILA!

PS You do not EVER want to use anything Metal or Sharp in this case on this product when removing from small areas....this will result in scratches and deep damage to the body panel in which it has been applied
if you have any questions, let me know.
