Plasti dip works nice!!
If you don't like it, just peel it off I did my emblems in the beginning of the month.

I did mine when they were off to re-locate. you can spray them on the car.

I'd be concerned about the vinyl overlays peeling, but it's an easy way to try.

I found some of the "solid" Chevy emblems can come apart (learned that looking at a late model truck in the junk yard, the painted surface is on the inside, in theory you could remove the painted material and re-paint the inside and epoxy it together). But that was looking at the emblem on the front of a truck (might be different on other cars).

Thanks! I'll be trying out the plastidip pretty soon. It seems pretty easy. Thanks for the suggestions! I'm just starting out on detailing my car. Your's looks real good btw
