DaFaq?!? I am an enthusiast as are most people on these boards. I would not laugh unless it was a horrible job. I would love to see you laugh at one of Fonzi's Porches with a color changing dip job.

Ummmm you do realize theres a difference between a professionally mixed and sprayed job and a plastidip rattle can right?

not enough to count in the context of an emblem or two. Also I grew up around a paintshop you would be surprised how many times the pros use a rattlecan for touch ups. there are even empty cans / devices you spray and pressurize yourself for touchups.

 

Walk into any pro paint shop and I guarantee you will find these or something similar:

If I was just going to have the truck for a short time I would do plasti-dip. But, I plan on keeping this truck for over a decade so I just prefer replacing them with a painted aluminum piece (full bowtie on front to get rid of the trim and just the insert for the tailgate to keep the trim). Plus it was faster to replace them than it would be to tape off, spray and wait between coats to spray again. Plasti-dip is a great product for what it is, I just like doing a job one time. I know people have had plasti-dip last 2-3 years, but I would worry about it wanting to come off for one reason or the other since it's made to easily peel off.

No.

My truck is in the shop, has been there for3 weeks.

It was shuddering when braking and a weird chirp from the bottom right side of the engine.

Once I get it back I'll install them and will post pictures.

I got my truck back. This is how the black emblems look installed.

Just clean the red emblems with alcohol and install them.

I haven't had any problems.

They come with good instructions.

Went the extra bucks for the OEM and grille removal for proper install was a snap or rather a sharp pull after removing the 4 retention screws. Install it once and forggeddaboutit....and I don't have to worry when years of scrubbing out smashed bug bits with a toothbrush.

Thanks! GMC supposedly did not renew anyones permission to make these because GM is going to make them themselves like the black Chevy bowties, but have not have seen any info from the GMC accessories pages and dealer knows nothing about any black GMC ones! I will try these ones for now, Thanks again!
