Exactly what I was looking for even the same roll of 3m vinyl thank you for not rambling about your dog getting married and your ex girlfriend getting ran over...
Dude! I watched someone plasti dip their emblems but this method looks so much cleaner and almost OEM. I am definitely doing this to my Chevy truck! Thanx for the video!
Straight forward and to the point. Thank you. I have a blacked-out Silverado. I think some chrome wrap vinyl on the bowties will tie in really nicely with the chrome accents on the headlights.
Loove this. So many people are saying oh you can by decals and stuff on the internet blah blah blah. Personally I love the extra work and the look of "I made this". All and all. Nice work dude...
Nice..i bought a little can of rustoleum and used my kids water color pain brush and finished front and back in under 10 min..its been 2 years still looks mint..plus paint will last many years
@@KathleenBellDreamingofDIY Do it! I get compliments on them, especially if I go to the Chevy dealer! I'm thinking about how to do the tiny bow ties that are on the rims. And the one on the steering wheel. !!!
Vinyl is faster no masking and very minimal prep, takes less than 10 min if you know what your doing, and last way longer , I’ve had both and plasti dip requires minimal of 3 coats , vinyl is one layer and you don’t have to wait for it to dry.
So much better! Apparently they started with that cheezy gold filling in 2000. Opinion: Nothing says tacky like fake gold. Hope someday someone at Chevy sees how many videos there are with owners going to the effort to change it and gets the message. It doesn't look so great in their ads, either.
"Chevy" HAS seen that people like the black bowties better - but GREED has set in and they now charge $295 to have a black bowtie put on the front and back - TWO HUNDRED NINETY FIVE DOLLARS to make it look just like the ones in this video !!! Thanks, J R Vlogs for showing us how to save $295 !!!
@@chadmark88 All the companies have their logos and markings locked up with copyright and trademarks so no-one legally make them aftermarket without licen$ing and you wind up stuck having to go OEM. I'll bet the stock bowtie isn't cheap, either.
Looks good. Too bad my emblems are on the paint..... No way am I comfortable w/razor blading around Audi rings - will have to go plasti-dip. Prefer your way though as the material looks more durable
Thanks for showing this! It came out great! I just did mine as you showed and they look awesome! The factory ones are stupid expensive, this is a great alternative.
@Alexx Yes ! It stays on perfect. I have had it on my 2018 for 5 years now . Trading the truck for a '24 GMC next week , and will be looking to black out the GMC emblems
Good vid. Yours just rolled on easy, I got so many wrinkles and no matter how many times I tired it wouldnt wrinkle. 1. Will heating it up take out the wrinkles? 2. Will a high power blow dryer work? Or do I really need a heat gun?
Have the same textured type embossed emblems (apparently some come smooth). How’d you get the vinyl to stick to both edges? Because there’s a two tiny indentations, one near the silver and the second is where the textured emblem goes smooth? I can’t get the vinyl to stick to that park
Joneshia did you try using the heat gun while pushing down with your credit card or whatever you’re using to push the vinyl down? That’s what I had to do on mine. Took awhile but finally stuck.
I have friends who have done it. If you run through a car wash once a week, his lasted a year with 3M film. Another friend only hand washes his, and still going strong. They did at the same time. Hope that helps.
Did you ever get to trying it? I just bought the same stuff, iron on vinyl from circut. Trying to do my badges so wish me luck and let me know if you have any luck:)
