For emblems, you will save time and money by just plastidipping them. With new emblems you need to remove the old ones, goo-gone the gunk that's left behind, and remeasure the placement of the emblems; that's assuming you want it as close to the original position as possible.

Please show me a picture of two year old plastidipped emblems or ... better yet... a grill... I do not believe that they will hold up and stay a uniform black.

I would never degrade my 63 with Plastidip.
Trust me and go with someone professionally car painting them. They look amazing.

Yet, I will do it again since the application of plastidip is so easy that I honestly don't mind respraying it every few years. Plus, this lets me try out different colors as well!
If you're looking for something permanent then I would go with painting/vinyl wrapping/etc. But for those individuals who have "ADD" when it comes to customization, plastidip isn't a bad way to go.

I just had my grill, rear emblems and chrome professionally stripped and painted by a shop. Everything looks factory. I've seen several Plastidip jobs and the problem is ....that they look like what they are--a DIY Plastidip job (particularly grills). Okay, but never quite right unless the car is on the move.

For the grill, painting might be best. Just make sure you get a clear coat on it as well, as road debris will more than likely chip at it. Vinyl wrap isn't a bad choice either, but if the vinyl gets chipped or ripped, then you will have to rewrap it again.
