Anyone have any advice on plastidipping my emblems black and red (like the FX app package) without taking the emblems off?

Thats actually what I tried first. It was still pulling it off down to the shinny chrome.

It shouldnt chip its rubber. And yes you can paint over it. My buddy plasti dipped his front and back bumpers and then went over them with white and then a clear coat it looks good almost factory

i used a krylon paint from what i was told that would bind to plastic. i put 6 coats on it but it chips easily. so i was just gonna use the plasti dip and use the clear coat for the glossy look that i want
