I will delete the AWD and paint the GT flat black as well 
Looks good! Awaiting "on the car" photos...
I cannot imagine the antsiness...
Good info , I cleaned the surfaces thoroughly with rubbing alc too but clearly that doesnt work . Plast dip seems to stick like hell though !
Be nice ! Actually the texture that PD adds is pretty cool , I think its fine for emblems , but then I dont sell them for a living
Honesty is a nice quality !!Though, if you get someone who knows what they are doing (someone that paints cars for a living), PlastiDip can look pretty damn sharp. But, I agree with you because I DON'T know what I'm doing and my stuff would look like shit.
Oh nice! We can do these professionally done in matte black, glossy black and OEM paint-matched colors. I haven't had enough Stinger inventory come in to spare doing extras for promotional purposes, but this is a customization product we've offered for years. Guess I'll have to whip up some Stinger ones asap!
Eh, on that thought, no reputable painter--especially someone who does it for a living--would, in their right mind use PlastiDip. The finish simply doesn't look like paint, and for good reason too...it isn't paint! I agree that when you're not up close, PlastiDip looks fine and has some interesting colors for sure. However, when you're up close its very obvious what it is. Granted, this is "good enough" for some people and that's perfectly fine. Personally though (and also taking customer high demands into account), we'd never touch the stuff.Though, if you get someone who knows what they are doing (someone that paints cars for a living), PlastiDip can look pretty damn sharp.

At the moment, no. Chroming (or chrome coating over synthetics) is a whole different animal compared to paint and powdercoating. With chroming, there's a minimum order quantity involved simply to offset cost. It's probably easier and cheaper to have a whole new part made as opposed to sending a ton of OEM Stinger logos to be chromed. In the end it all comes down to demand. At this point it's not in our plans to do a dark chrome or gunmetal OEM-style Stinger lettering, but I'll keep my eye open for chatter about it. Unfortunately I still haven't been able to get my hands on an actual Stinger to give it a good once-over, so any products we're doing for it are based off OEM and aftermarket parts that were purchased. Once we have a car--either local customer or purchased in house--we'll really get cracking. It's still early on in the game though.
As I said the painting method I did was thorough but I still ended up with a few very very small chips , I'm researching the acid dip procedure for pre paint prep , the chrome is just not holding paint .............Mine looks fine but I know whre the chips are which bother me , so in the Spring I'm going to redo the emblems ..............of course you know someone will be offerring them for sale eventually !!
The thing about that is - will it be worth the frustration of getting the double sided tape on the back of the STINGER emblem? That looks like a heck of a tedious endeavor...
Totally AGREE !. But I like the challange of finding what to treat the surface with prior to painting ( I'm not wanting to do anything that involves the tape )
