Brandonbkd Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I was thinking about doing it but I just worry about things rubbing and wearing it off. My shoes quiet often hit it when I get in and out so I just didn't bother messing with it.

I did the badges on the rear and they look awesome Ok I see, well Imma try it but I'm not going to do the running boards it has the stock Eddie Bauer black ones, I may down the road who knows, and on your badges did you take them off to spray or mask around them?

Brandonbkd Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I left them on and masked a few inches out from the emblems. Where the plastidip is thick it's easy to peel off what you want but little overspray is an absolute pain to get off FI BL18 Build Log: CLICK HERE!! 2003 Explorer Sport: FI BL18 SoundQubed 2200 at 0.7ohm Pioneer DEH-2500UI Pioneer 6 x 8s Rockford Fosgate 6 x 9s 5 ft^3 box at 35hz Lots of Mega Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandonbkd Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 And you'll want to do everything at least like 4 or 5 coats. It's more durable and is way easier to take off when you wanna get rid of it FI BL18 Build Log: CLICK HERE!! 2003 Explorer Sport: FI BL18 SoundQubed 2200 at 0.7ohm Pioneer DEH-2500UI Pioneer 6 x 8s Rockford Fosgate 6 x 9s 5 ft^3 box at 35hz Lots of Mega Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dionysus Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ok cool thank you! I want to black out all badges like the "explorer" on the sides and the "v8" on the back, any tips on masking around them? I figured I could tape around them and cut out around the lettering tightly with a exacto knife? Or were you saying masking out a couple inches around the badges leaving the few inches around the badge to be sprayed with the badge and Peel it off from around it cause it will be thick there? Sorry for so many questions that are probably stupid this is my first time using plasti dip and I'm just trying to learn the product and its great capabilities! Oh and coat wise I was planning at least 4 coats based on what I've read on here, ill probably do the 5 coats tho. I guess I should take some before and after pics to post up too Build log link, (Slow Build) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183469-dionysuss-02-eddie-bauer-explorer-slow-budget-build-sundown-4-chan-guts-pg-4/ Team AB son!

Krakin Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I taped around them about 6 inches or so away from emblem. Then I just pulled off the extra dip. I used a toothpick to help make sure it didn't pull off anything else.

What a great product you can just feel it off and it doesn't ruin or Peel the paint, pure genius Build log link, (Slow Build) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183469-dionysuss-02-eddie-bauer-explorer-slow-budget-build-sundown-4-chan-guts-pg-4/ Team AB son!
