plasti-dip issue - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My "SS" emblem peeled back on the corner so I plastidipped over it thinking I'd be able to pull it off and it would come off around the emblem easy. But I can't get it out in between the emblem....what can I do?

Thanks

Toothpick, just be careful. If you sprayed it thick enough it should come off no problem.

yeah thats the problem i guess i didnt spray it on thick....its coming off in tiny pieces

Spray a few more coats, three or four more, wait a day, should come off in one piece!

This is a relatively easy fix. Put a liberal amount of goof off on a q-tip and swipe the plastidip away. It should melt off. Don't rub it in.

Rinse the emblem with water after.

so do you think I should apply a thick coat or just try the goof off method?

Your paint is seriously scratched. If it were me I'd remove the emblem and correct the paint, this will make removing the plastidip easy too.

+1. Didn't suggest that because if he's asking this question he's probably not quite at that level. But it definitely should be done.
