    Thanks to macmaster05, for this idea! Came out great in my opinion.Very easy to do and improves the looks so much.Still need to clean up some of the tape lines but that's easy enough. Badge1.jpg Badge2.jpg Badge3.jpg

    Might be even easier if you explained what you did.

    Taped off the area around the badges in a square shape. Put 4 coats of plasti dip with 30 minute intervals. Made sure to get the bottom and top. After 4th final coat, let it sit for 1 hour or so. Peeled off the plasti dip and it stops peeling by itself when it hits the badge itself. Used a pick and tweezers to fish out the rubber inside the nooks of the badges.

    How long can you expect it to last, and what was your cost in materials?
