Default plasti dipped
plasti dipped the badges, what do you think?
First time doing this was pretty pleased with the results, little less classy, little more sporty..

Yep, that's the plan, already did the chrome number strip, but thinking to get the window chrome vinyl wrapped, figured the dip might be a bit trickier there.

Looks good. Must say you were brave by spraying while only covering a small portion of the car. At times overspray paint particles can travel for rather long distances...

Beauty of plastic dip. Even if there is a little overspray it is really easy to remove with a cloth :-)

That looks really good.
Wouldn't be quite as striking on mine though, what with the lack of contrast
