Blacking out emblems?
I am wanting to black out my front pony emblem but can't really seem the right way to do it.. So if you have done this please show steps how to correctly do this so I don't have to re do it over and over. Thanks

For $20 order an emblem cover from emblemcovers.com. There isn't anything for the fake gas cap so I plastidipped that. It took a little over an hour. The key is to apply small amounts in layers so the paint doesn't run. I sprayed a little too heavy the first time and had to start over. The awesome thing is, you just peel it off if you screw up or don't like it later. The plastidip spray cost less than $6 at Lowe's and now my wife wants me to black out the emblems on her jeep lol.
You can cover around the area you want to paint. If you get any overspray, car detailer or a claybar can remove any random flecks very easily.
