Blacking out Emblems
So I've seen a lot of the DIY threads on how to black out the emblems on this forum and several others. Even after reading them, watching videos and even attempting to paint them myself, they never come out the way I'd like; frankly I'm over doing it myself. So I have all the emblems that I'd want blacked out (V8 Kompressor, AMG, E55, and trunk mbenz star). I was wondering if there is anyone in the valley area that can do it for me? You can just pm and we can continue the talk over there.
Thanks,
Manvel

Plastidip is spray on vinyl. it adheres to what ever its getting painted on and doesnt let go. I did my whole audi wagon in it and its incrediby durable. I ran it on my car for a while as an experiment. I accidently dropped a philips screw driver nose down on my bumper and it bounced off. Left no damage to the paint, to the plastidip or the bumper itself.
And should you ever want to go back to stock...

well the emblems are chrome... even if you sand them they will eventually flake,chip,etc.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking it.

Hell I'm mad I didn't look into this more. I just ordered (2) V8 Kompressor, (1) E55, (1) Star for the trunk, and (1) AMG emblem and it cost me close to $100. Now I see the videos and this looks way to easy for me to do.
Anyone need some emblems??
