It's really not too hard and while it might seem pretty daunting, the beauty about PlastiDip is that it is VERY forgiving if you mess up. As I'm sure you've read or heard by now, you literally just peel it off.Ugh, I love this look so much better. I just wish I had to the courage to do it.
How many coats did you apply and how long did you wait in between?Plasti dipped my emblems.
I'm assuming I can do the trail rated badge on the Jeep the same way? No need to remove it? Y'all might have talked me into giving it a go. I feel better knowing I can't completely screw it up and can start over if needed.It's really not too hard and while it might seem pretty daunting, the beauty about PlastiDip is that it is VERY forgiving if you mess up.

The important thing to do is cover the surrounding area with plastic bags or newspaper and leave a small box perimeter around the emblems. Then spray. Start with a light coat for the first 2-3 coats. In other words, go over it once or twice, then let it dry. It should look like you missed a lot of coverage, it's what the heavier coats of PlastiDip will adhere to. After that, apply a few coats afterward, this time heavier and making sure you cover everything. After the final coat, let it cure until it starts to harden but is tacky. Take off the painters tape and the bags/newspaper. Grab one of the corners of the box and begin to GENTLY peel away. Once you get to he emblems, just let it go with the natural curves. Be gentle, but don't be afraid to pull. It should peel around the curvatures of the letters. For the insides of certain letters (like the "e" or "p"), I find it's best to use a toothpick and slowly peel away at it.
There are plenty of YouTube videos online if you want visual references as well.
You definitely can, I've done my badge and jeep emblem a couples times now. Just make sure everything is dry as possible.. I've had to peal mine off a few times and do it over again because the humidity and constant rain make it tough in South Florida..I'm assuming I can do the trail rated badge on the Jeep the same way?

No need to remove it. Also, make sure the painting surface is clean so it adheres properly. I like using rubbing alcohol since it has a high rate evaporation so it dries quickly. Wear gloves too to avoid getting your finger oils on the paint surface.I'm assuming I can do the trail rated badge on the Jeep the same way? No need to remove it?
