Does anyone have any experience with plasti dip? I'm wanting to paint my emblems with it. Just wondering how easy it is to use and does it last without peeling off
 
I had a friend use it on emblems and it lasted a good while, but it won't last long at all if you use it on wheels. Overall it just a quick and cheap way to paint something, still think it's worth it. If it peels just spray it again.
 
Just did it to mine, doesn't look too bad. Don't do it when it's cold unless you have a portable heater or something in your garage, if you do, wait about 45 minutes between coats and 2 hours before you peel.

I've used plasti dip on all my vehicles. I did 5 coats on the rims of my last car and the plasti dip held up great for the three years I owned it. I drove in the snow a lot and washed them lightly with a pressure washer. Never had any issues. I just did the emblems and grill on my 2017 tacoma. It's cheap and peels right off. So you have nothing to lose. The surface has to be extremely clean and free of rust. Make sure the first two coats are very light.
 
Thanks I appreciate all the feedback. I was just a little hesitant spraying it on a brand new truck
 
It sticks to well to the badges and logos well, wheels would be better off powder coated
 
I did the entire grill on my 16 OR. The instructions on the can say the entire surface must be wet at the same time otherwise you may end up having different hues. (Or something like that, I don't have a can in front of me). This makes the process extremely difficult for the grill.
Maybe someone did something different that works better. I'm not looking forward to having to do it again.
