When in doubt, go to the dipyourcar.com forums. Those people eat, sleep and breathe plastidip. Many of them setup their own businesses dipping cars and are familiar with how all the products work and work with each other.

I think tomorrow I will do my f150 emblems. I still think this is better than paying 420 bucks for some guy to paint them.

Looks good. Don't do too many coats or it'll look like you threw glitter all over the emblem and it'll actually lighten up the black to a greyish color. It happened to me when I did mine red and black I put like 4 or 5 coats on and ended up hating it and just did them all black for now. Come spring time I'm going to actually paint them and clear them

I think that would look good on a charger.

I see what your saying with the grey. When I do my emblems tomorrow I will cut myself off at two coats.
