Default Did some plastidip'n this weekend

I joined the craze and plastidip'd my emblems and wheels. Overall it came out really well I think. I did my wheels to see how I like having black wheels before I buy some new ones or have the stockers powercoated or if these hold up pretty well, just keep it like this. I did two coats of the glossifier to give it a little shine which is most evident in the sun.

That looks really good! How about a further shot of that rear emblem? I tried the rear emblem on mine and failed. Miserably.

Looks really good, did you have to do any prep work for the plastidip?

Wheels look really clean, that glossifier works wonders behind the matt black dip. Good work!

Rear emblem blackouts ftw!

I like it. The wheels look good, and you did a really good job with the faux gas cap.
While blacked out fender badges look good on light-colored cars, I really don't see the point on a dark-colored cars.
I would simply remove the 5.0 badge; you can barely see it.

It would just seem wrong to take off the 5.0 badge I'm going to paint the "." red to help it stand out a bit.

Cap looks sick! Black wheels look good too.

I did mine the opposite (Black Pony w/chrome Ford ring).

I can see what you're saying about pulling the badge all together...
However, painting the 5.0 so that it can barely be seen is tantamount to putting a baseball cap on over a new haircut.

The red "." should help make it pop but a chrome or white outline would add even more contrast.

I.E. If you reversed the chrome/black in the THIS PICTURE
