Black badges > Chrome Badges (Photos)

The chrome badges look terrible especially since the rest of the trim on the car is black. Just wanted to share some photos of my results. I plastidipped the Tesla emblems and bought the black dual motor badge from Abstract Ocean. Also picked up a black aluminum license plate frame on Amazon as well because chrome plate frames are also gross.

looks great! if I pressure wash my car, could plastidip withstand it?

I will find out soon enough. This is my first time using it. Going to wait a week to make sure its really cured before I attempt to wash it though.

I had my car PPF and ceramic coated when I first got it. The shop did chrome delete on my front badge and removed the dual motor badge off the back. I later replaced the dual motor badge with a black one as well. My license plate cover is carbon fiber so I have no chrome on my car as well. My front badge has held up as my car is just at 1 year old.

That came out looking really good!
Shout out from Mansfield

 

[ToasterStrudel]

Intend on doing that with mine too

Agree those black T logos look great.

IMO, the Dual Motor badge needs to go completely. It's not only pretentious, it's completely unnecessary.

I agree with unnecessary considering they’re all dual motor now

Looks nice but I actually prefer the look of chrome. I kinda wish my car had chrome trim and door handles instead of black. In my opinion chrome looks classic and timeless while the current trend of blacking everything out is exactly that a trend.

Look awesome, thanks for sharing. Paint or powder coating is the way to go over plastidip. Plastidip simply won't stand up over time.

Looks great, planing on doing mine soon. Can't stand the chrome!

Lol, with even a 1600 psi (which is super low - pressure washer wise) the dipped badges will be chrome in .02 seconds. They sell black plastic - or even - genuine CF ones.

I have a 2300 psi and my plastidipped badges still look as perfect as the day I did it a year ago.

Thanks amazon!

Good work but you can buy decals all over the place in a variety of blacks and other colors and textures.

 

[everydaychris]

ah plasti dip.

They also have it with glossifier so you can make it glossy

Overspray gets everywhere so make sure you tape it off well enough but overall its SUPER easy and it covers the ENTIRE logo so there's no chrome showing unlike a sticker.

I will say it stands up to pressure washing and anything as long as you spray it correctly in different angles with multiple coats

I’m still shocked that they blacked out the MY and left these pieces chrome.

Looks great. Do you have the link for the plastidip used? Want to make sure I don't get wrong one. How many coats did you apply and how long did you wait for before applying each coat? Thanks!!
