Blacked Out Emblems

[pinebaron]

I'm liking the chrome against the thunderstorm grey. There is just enough and it isn't overwhelming as it would be if the window trim was also chrome.

Especially with a dark colors, chrome does stand out and I like it and I put two additional chrome OEM AEV badges on both front fenders but that was more to brag about AEV which as we all know was an additional $10k.

This is one of the 1st things I p

This confirms my decision to have this be one of the first things I do to my AT4 when it gets here as it is also Titanium Rush.

Looks great- how do I peel the black away and leave the red in the 4’s? Messed one up yesterday and had to reapply Plastidip.

I used Hyperdip which supposedly peels better than plastidip, but still didn’t pull as cleanly as I'd like on the 4's.

I'm going to redo these at somepoint but its been far to humid to even try.

Several of the videos I've seen have said that tracing the seam with a toothpick/spudger tool between each coat helps it cut cleaner when you peel it.

Yea, the 4 is the hardest one to get and mine wants to peel off already. I bought some black emblems with a red 4 that I will switch them out for once the heat drops. Too hot to be screwing with this right now.

Does help but the 4's are a bit

Ive been thiking about replacing these emblems as well. The Hyperdip worked well on the GMC and Sierra emblems, but not so much on the AT4

Gotcha- thanks for the pic. I may leave them all black for a while.

Did mine a few months back. No issues with peeling away excess, or durability.

How many coats are you putting down? I did 4 and didn't have a problem peeling it off.

Cleaned the area very well with soap and water, then alcohol. About 6 to 8 coats, then peel away the excess. You also need to let each coat dry, and your first 2 to 3 coats should be light and slowly work up to heavier coats at the end.

I did 4 and left it overnight. Now I’m nervous about peeling again.
