Default Plastidipping your emblems

Used plastidip on the emblems of my old 2005 civic
The front emblem was a little different; it is in the middle of the grill with "holes". Ended up using cotton ***** to stuff the spaces inside the H.

Used blaze orange and some glossifier. The plastidip peels off nicely when applied thickly. It also rips/tears by itself around cracks and crevices. So no need to go crazy with taping. If you're not sure what I mean, watch a DIY video on youtube about plastidipping emblems.

here are pics. Sorry for some blurriness; iPhones dont do well in the dark!

Took about 2 hours. Between coats of plastidip I waited about 10-15 minutes. It was windy and warm so less drying time was needed. I think the can states to wait something like 30 minutes between coats. I did wait 30 minutes before I started peeling the excess from around the emblems.
