GENESIS name badge on back removal?

[TazMan]

How did you black out your letters? I removed all other badges like you did but want to black out genesis..

You can also use a product called “hyperdip”. Really easy to do. I do it on most of my cars. Just go to YouTube and look it up.

..or plastidip. I have both on different parts of my car and even though Hyderdip is new and improved, I still like plastidip better. Two reasons are that HD is easier to apply and I found Hyperdip black has brown tinges.

What's your experience @TazMan ?

I have used both and they work well. Both products are very easy to use. However, I like hyperdip’s shadow black for the emblems. Seems to come out more with a factory like finish. I haven’t experienced the brown tinge you’re talking about. Could just be my eyes but to me seems to be a really nice black. Either way you can’t go wrong. The nice thing about plastidip or hyperdip is that both are easy to remove if your not satisfied.

I've considered using Hyperdip or Plastidip for the emblems but I've been unable to find good answer on product durability. If the product is properly applied to a properly prepped embelm, any idea how often a fresh coat would need to be applied? If I hand wash my cars regularly with pH neutral soap does that shorted the lifespan or lengthen it? Looking at time and cost of the products, if a refresher needs to be applied it might be cheaper to buy the blackout badges sold on this site.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

I've had Plastidip on my factory wheels for 3 years now and haven't touched them up once. Still look great once when cleaned properly and durability has been perfect.

I've had Hyperdip on my grill for 1 year and same thing. I pressure wash both like they are factory paint. Surprising how durable they are....

In terms of comparing the two. Plastidip applies thick. It's not like paint and you can be very liberal and won't get runs. It has a rubber like texture once dry. Durable but collects dust. Hyperdip applies like paint and runs easy. It's more durable (apparently) then Plastidip but I don't like the finish as much. Having said that, it was my first and only try doing it. I'm positive my application of the product could be much better.

I need to chime in on P_D & H_D. I used to use P_D on vehicles for over a decade. I no longer use it because it doesn't age well + it never looks like it's a factory-done paint job. I've done many a grill, bumpers, and way too many emblems. It's a somewhat easy way to get the look your after and is OK from a distance. Up close it never looks like paint does. It does peel off if ya wanna remove it but when it ages it becomes more of a chore. I used to recommend it to friends and people on car forums. If yer vehicle is older and not a classy type then yeah use it but on our GV70s I don't recommend it...If ya really like yer vehicle don't cut corners.

I agree, the best way is to always remove your emblems and replace them with new black ones if your comfortable removing the old and installing the new. It's not that difficult task if you have the time or patience to do so. I've done that several times, also. But if you are not comfortable and are not sure if you will like the change, the HD or PD is the way to go. It's not permanent and can be removed easily using "goo gone" and a pressure washer.

I have had both HD and PD on my vehicles for years and not just emblems, but also whole front grills without any issues. Both are good products, but in my opinion the HD looks more like a factory finish (see the link below). Unfortunately, due to my health, I can't always hand wash my cars, so I frequent the automated car wash at least once a week. Even through car washes the HD holds up extremely well. If for some reason you do have an issue, you could just re-apply a new coat. Again, this is not a permanent product, but an easy solution to give your car the look you're trying to achieve. So if you don't like it, it can be easily removed with a spray of "go gone" and a pressure washer. As far as new blackout badges, of course those will always be the best solution if you're comfortable removing the old and installing the new.

Interesting. I never liked plastic dip...I always thought it looked cheap. Could spot it from a mile away. I opted to paint emblems on my son's car with a satin paint, then cleared with satin clear and held up really well. However, this HD looks promising...I do not like flat, but satin sheen is perfect, and the fact that it goes on thinner and is a deeper black....I may give this a try.

Never used any of these rubberized coatings, but it looks very easy. May give it a whirl.
