Wait you sprayed them on the car? How about a super close shot I want to see your mask job, not doubting you just want to see!

With Plastidip, you just spray all around it, then when it dries, you use an exacto knife and cut round the emblem and peel off the excess.

Where's your C32 badge? Just today I saw a C32 that had the AMG badge removed but still had the other emblems. LOL you're the opposite!

Have you blacked out your exhaust tips? Give it a matte black high heat engine paint touch-up

Do you not think all black looks odd on the silver car?

All black looks awesome on a black car for sure!

The parts you are changing to black on your silver C32 is accenting/highlighting some of its features so no I don't think it looks odd.

No going back? Are you going to plastidip the whole car?

www.dipyourcar.com The kit for the entire car is around USD299.00 i think only for USA.
