i've experimented with this stuff a lot on my camaro. it's awesome, it comes right off if you get tired of it.

like others have said, if it chips or starts to peal, just re-spray it.

here is a little trick i tried with some of the trims on the inside of my camaro. after you spray the plasti dip, spray some clear coat over it, it'll keep the plasti dip from chipping or pealing off easily.

and if you get tired of it you should still be able to take it off fairly easily (as long as you don't spray 500 coats of clear over it)

Here are some pics of some of the pieces i did on my camaro.

the area around the shifter and the bottom half of the face of the radio (around the *****) which is plasti dipped and clear coated used to be grey.

the other picture is the trim on the steering wheel (around the volume controls) and the trim around the speedo and the tachometer.

I got it at home depot for like $6 a can. Well worth it. This helmet was the carbon fiber outlaw one that was all the rage last year. Didn't care for the matte carbon look so I plastidipped it.

I would think put the emblem on first, then spray. There are a lot of vids on youtube of people spraying around emblems and stuff.
