Ken..... That sounded like a nightmare. Sorry to hear. If that happened to me, I would've had to clay bar, then prolly have to buff the entire car with my Flex. That would turn into an 8 hr ordeal or more.... that's how long it takes me to fully buff a car.
Yeah not a fan of black emblems or debadged emblems for that matter. For me, it takes away the "class" of the car. Again, just my opinion. Question though, why didn't you physically remove the badges before you plastidipped it? And did you leave the rear emblem black dipped too? How about the overspray by the rear of car?

the entire theme of plasti-dipping is that you can do this without removing the emblems...well that's wat it's portrayed at the lexus forums and at the370z as well. it was suppose to be a quick and fun paint, peel off excess, and enjoy thing. i was 100% not aware the overspray was sticky. if i would've known this i would not have used plasti-dip and just removed the emblems off the car and painted in my usual means. |

Ah I see.... How did alchemy do it without overspray residue all over car? Yeah sounds like it needs to be done in a well ventilated and entire car masked area.....or just removed emblems. So did u return both front and rear emblems to stock?
