Default Plastidip on emblems

Has anyone used Plastidip before? I saw a guy on the Lexus forums used it on his emblems and it came out amazing. I want to do the same to my Tiburon and Hyundai emblems.

Well redid the h and it came out perfect this time. However, the plasti dip doesn't want to break off the tiburon emblem easily causing some of it to come off from the letters. So I took it off and am respraying. I think it's because the tiburon lettering isn't as thick as the h emblem. Either way we will see soon!



Edit



Well finally finished! Here it is:

used it on the jeep last weekend.. stuff worked awesome.. easily peeled off the textured plastic on the back of the jeep. I will be using it this weekend to change the keyhole on the drivers side from the 'chrome' to black, as i never use the key, i use the remote to unlock/lock it.



i put one coat on a little thick, and it left a little thicker spot at the bottom of the letters. you can hardly tell in person unless you are right on it. I dont think I will bother to redo it though.



here are some pictures, pardon the quality, taken on my cell phone.
