Black emblem

[Willyone]

Obviously ya gotta make sure the emblem to be plasti'd id clean, dry, masked off, etc. Other than that is there any other prep work needed such as sanding to "de-gloss" the surface?

 

Thanks

No sanding whatsoever!

Just clean and dry the surface.

The best thing about plastidip is if you don't like it you can peel it right off and have your original finish!

They don't have black GMC emblems. Going to have to try the plasti dip

Are they vinyl overlays? Do you have pictures?

Yeah, I'll see if I can dig up some from my Terrain. My Sierra's haven't arrived yet.

I plasti dipped the honeycomb section of the grille on my LT just recently. I wasn't sure what to expect out of it at first either, but after seeing the finished product I am now a big fan. I wouldn't hesitate.

Plastidip worked well for the GMC where vinyl would not have due to ridges as mentioned before. It seems to hold up incredibly well in all conditions and it super easy to apply and reapply. Watch some videos, you don't have to be meticulous about taping off, the excess plastidip peels incredibly easily off of the chrome surrounding of the badge.

I had mine painted by a local body shop for $45. I got mine color matched red

Just do it right and fork over the money for the black emblems. Any enthusiast will see plasti-dip emblems and laugh... See this link for description

I disagree. I used the plastidip and glossifier on my wife's Colorado and you cannot tell the difference between the OEM black and the painted black. I've seen the flat black painted ones and they look bad, but if you use the gloss black finish it looks exactly like stock - for only $15 and 1 hour of labor.

^^ Lol I completely agree. I had a buddy that did plastidip and it immediately turned me off from the idea. I actually just taped mine off and sprayed it. I didn't like the look the first time I did it so I just sprayed it with carb cleaner and the black paint I put on came right off leaving it looking exactly like stock. Then I taped it off and redid it and it looks flawless. See for yourself
