Has anyone Plasti Dip Sprayed their emblems?

I ordered some, being in Canada this crap is $23 each, but in the US it is about $6.50 Should get it Middle of Next Week!

You can spray your emblems, without removing them or taping them, and later on the "sprayed coating" comes right off. It's suppose to last long without chipping.

I am gonna try this stuff on my rims and the emblem in Flat Black.

If anyone here's done this show me some pics!
Here's a Video Example

I've done my rims and gas door.

I'm going to do my emblems next time I find my way to home depot to buy another can.

That is pretty slick. What a great way to get black wheels without the huge expense. Have to let us know how it holds up. I will be getting a can to experiment with!

I will be buying this stuff tomorrow! Especially because I scratched up my 20s on my FX4... :-( , but now they can look new and different! !

For those who did their rims, how did you prep them before spraying? Thanks.

My prep:
Take off wheels (I have heard of people leaving them on though)
Wash/dry rims
Placed rolled tape in the lug holes to simulate lug nuts.
Spray a coat
Let dry about 20 minutes
Spray another coat(I did a total of 3 coats on each rim)
Let dry for about an hour and then replace on truck.

A stupid question, but...

Is there any special procedure necessary in removing and replacing wheels on a 2011 F150? I know there are sensors in the tires--are there connectors to deal with? Do I need to retrain my wheels?

Or is it simply the same as in the old days.. jack up the truck, remove the wheel and replace it... job done?

I treated it just like the old days on my 09.
