I popped my emblems off and bought some heavy duty double sided tape to replace the old adhesive.

Took fishing line behind the emblems to break the seal of the old adhesive and a nylon prybar to pop the clips out of the tailgate emblems.

so will the plasti dip that misses the target (ie. emblem or reflector) just peel off the paint but not the target because the gap between them?

Yea it peels right off, I just didn't want to try to pick it out of the "0"s. I did my wheels and taped off the ford logo on the centercaps, when I peeled the tape off the PD tried to stick to the tape and peel off the cap, I cut it with a razor blade and pressed it back down...no problems yet and been through tons of salt and pressure washes.

Basically, it's hard to mess up with this stuff; and if you do, you can peel it off and start over.

I'm thinking of trying this plasti dip thing on my chrome on my 2009 xlt. I'm worried however that it might not peel of as easy as you guys mention, in the case I don't like the look.

Thinking I want to do grill, front and rear bumpers and running boards.

Wondering if someone has done some of this work and peeled it off after?

So if you read all the post we say it comes right off and there is 200 post about how great it is and how it comes right off. I've taken it off and put it back on others have also but you don't believe us but then ask us. I'm confused. Anyone else confused???

Yeah I guess your right. I didn't mean to sound rude but there is just page after page of people talking about the questions asked. Sorry guy that posted message. Use the stuff and you will fall in love with the stuff like the rest of us.
