Yea I've done it to mine couple times works great... a tip that I didn't use first time I did mine hold can a good six inches away every time you spray and after you spray before you spray again spray it on ground or a piece of cardboard cause the rubber has a tendency to build up around the nozzle causing it to spray in all sorts of different directions and if have it to close when it does that you'll end up with some overspray in one area that's hard to get rid of without peeling it all off and starting over but all in all easy product holds true and looks really good for low cost

No problem also be sure to wait 10-15 minutes between each coat longer wont hurt any either... dipyourcar on youtube has a lot of really good tips and info on it... I have badges dipped my front grille (Cerveni with the tribar pony) all dipped to make it more stealthy and then the silver around the faux gas door in rear have the circle part dipped... there's a few pictures of it from my first or second post if want to see what it looks like... I redid them couple days ago and put some masking tape in the red dot on the 5.0 badges but when pulled them off pulled a little off so some silver is showing so I'll probably be going back to 100% black again

First time I did it I taped off as close to badge as I could. When I took the tape off it came off the badge some and ended up looking like crap. I also go over spray EVERYWHERE. It comes off super easy (especially with rubbing alcohol) but was a pain and too forever.

When I redid them (peeled off no problem) I used newspaper to cover the whole area. Then tore a hole around the badge with about 3" around the badge. Taped it off and then sprayed. This time obviously I got no overspray on the car. And when I peeled the paper and tape off it came out perfect.
