You should just take the tC emblem off or relocate it somewhere else. The scion logos look good. Did you sand and clear your wheels? If not that will chip off extremely easy

yea i cleaned the wheels but with plasti dip you dont have to sand them

Oh sweet you just spray paint the plastidip on?

Id like to kno how long it lasts

I have to say you're bold doing that with the emblems still on the car.

Plasti dip is pretty durable. I just got back from a 600 mile road trip in horrible storms and my wheels look the same as the day I sprayed them. I need to do my emblems when I get the time. Its easy to do them without taking the emblems off...theres how to's all over the interwebs.

Or just pull it off with a heat gun then floss. paint, then heat gun em back on!

yeah you are a very bold and confident person to be spraying your emblems with them still on the car.
definitely would not recommend that

^super easy to do it w/o removing emblems....nothing bold about it. The stuff just peels right off, its not like spray paint. I've done it on other cars and never had problems it works great and is pretty much idiot proof.

I wouldn't do regular spray paint with the emblems still on the car, but plasti dip just peels off if you screw up

I think you should get some white touchup paint and paint the scion name in it

I Agree. you went too stealth fighteresque

I like it! You need to darken your tails though.

love it blacked out, looks good!

Ya man leave it blacked out, its killin em right now.

im actually in the process of two toning the front and rear emblems gloss red and black and just removing the tc emblem havent decided if im going to do the rims two tone as well

I want to plasti dip my rims, how many cans did you use and how long did it take?

PLease don't unless you realize that you will have to do it again in like 6 months.

I'm not a fan but whatever floats your boat. It doesn't look bad but it looked better before.

i used two cans and did two rims at a time i would put one coat on and let it dry for about 15 min then put another on i put a total or 4 coats on then let it dry for 1 hour so in all it took about 3 or 4 hours

ive been wanting to do that paint my emblems on my tc .. how did you do it ? you took em ? and what else pm me if possible
