Chrome Delete With Plasti Dip Honda Civic Emblems
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2021
- Today I show you how to chrome delete your emblems/badges with Plasti Dip. Its a simple mod/upgrade for any car but my particular car is a 2021 Honda Civic Hatchback EX model. It leaves a matte finish but you can gloss it up with Plasti Dip Glossifier.
For a little over $6, its a super cheap mod to do. It took me about 3.5 hours to complete due to drying time between sprays and the can still feels full even after the project. One can should last me for my second project of chrome deleting my window trim, maybe even more.
I purchased my Plasti Dip at Lowes. You can probably find them at your own local hardware stores.

Thanks for watching everyone! Love Y'all 3000!
Just know that two years later you are still helping people. 🙏🏽
And please help me I truly just do not understand how it rips cleanly and sticks to the chrome so we’ll put comes right off the paint…
@user-qw9nf4rt3t think of it as vinyl in a spray can. It'll stick to the surface but it's removable. The chrome trim piece and where the roof line is, there is a groove. So when you peel the excess off, the groove is essentially cutting the plastidip to have a clean rip. If it was 1 solid piece, it won't cut like it did in the video.
Been thinking about it but don't have the patience. Good stuff bro
Hey, thanks for checking out the video. Yea it takes a few hours to get it done. I was watching some YT in between drying time. Appreciate the sub!
Awesome. Definitely looking through your videos & copying mods, haha. Nice aesthetic videos bro, while also being super helpful
Sweet! Thanks for checking out my videos. Appreciate the support 👍
Looks good, definitely going to do that for my 2021 Honda Civic sport
Thanks! Appreciate it! Hope yours comes out awesome too! Congrats on your new ride.
@@SpendingJar thanks bro, I am shopping around for new wheels as well
Thanks for sharing this video ! Much appreciated ❤
This is my 3rd attempt today on plasti dipping my H emblem and i always mess it up when i’m about to peel it i hope this trick helps!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Man I was apprehensive at first but you got some fantastic results I’m gonna be doing white plastidip against my black finish
Awesome! Best of luck with your project 👍
Awesome vid bro. How does it fare with car washes and waxes etc?
Smart to leave those little pieces of tape inside the Honda emblem to give you an easier time.
Thank you! Appreciate you checking out the video!
Looks great on your color of car, I still dig the JDM red badges though
Thanks! Can't go wrong with either color. Appreciate you checking out my video 👍
We have the same car 🥲 im definitely doing this today! It looks so good!
Awesome! Hope it turns out great 👍
This one inspired me to try it on my own. Picked up the spray today.
Hi! That's awesome! Hope the project turns out great 👍 Thanks for checking out my video.
Rice Rice baby 😂😂😂💪
I wish you could do this to my 2024 civic hatchback 😊
Just subbed🔥🔥
Awesome! Appreciate it 👍
Now i really want to do this to my honda
Hi! Its a simple mod and reversible, best of luck on yours. Thanks for checking out my video 👍
How did you do the inside tape?
Great vid! I was thinking about doing this to my hatch ex but I was just curious if that’s waterproof? As in car wash safe or would it come off?
Hi and thanks for checking out my video. I think its wash safe from what I've seen and read from other people that used plasti dip. I have a pressure washer that I'll test on my next car wash.
How does do in the car wash?
Hey I have a ex sedan and the lip on the trunk came the same color as the body, would you have any idea how to take it off so I can plasti dip it black. I think it’d be easier than newspaper and tape method.
Hi and thanks for checking out my video. I think it be easier plastidipping it on. But if you want to remove the spoiler lip and its held on by tape, my opinion is (of course still do your research):
Try to remove on a sunny day, leave the car out to help soften the tape and use a hair dryer if needed to heat up the tape that's holding the spoiler on the trunk. Then use a fishing line to cut through the tape that's underneath the spoiler. After the spoiler comes off, you need to clean all the residue off the spoiler and the trunk before applying new tape. Make sure its throughly clean.
Hope this helps 👍
It actually came out good
Hey, appreciate you checking out my vid. Yea, it came out better than I thought, thanks! I'll most likely try the window trim next. Great thing about plasti dip, its reversible 👍
@@SpendingJar You should make more vids! I am subbing, bring me along with your build 😃👍
@@kg_1720 Yo! Thanks for the support 💯
Nice!
so much self-control doing such thin coats haha feel like i always accidentally use half the can on the first go
lol, definitely took some control. It turned out better than I expected. Not bad for a few bucks :)
I just wish I knew how long to wait between each spray :/
Going to do this with my civic! Question: How do the edges peel off so smoothly? Do you need to cut the edges before peeling it off? Thanks
Hi and thanks for checking out the video! This is one question I get asked a lot. I think I should make another video showing in more detail.
But to answer the question, the emblem is slightly raised due to the double sided tape. So when you peel it off, it cuts itself off from that raised part. Hopefully this makes sense. I need to black out another emblem so in that video, I'll try to get a close-up when I peel it.
i was thinking about doing a vinyl chrome delete on my audi but after watching your video i think I like the simplicity of the plastidip better. it's been two years, has it held up pretty well?
Hi, and thanks for watching the video. Yup, its still going strong with no issues. I have a short update video I uploaded a few months ago if you want to check it out. Best of luck with your project!
Damn I have to plasti dip my emblems now! I hate chrome lol.
Yuppp! One of the cheapest mods you can do. It takes a little time but its worth it in my opinion.
Sweet!!
Thanks!! 😁
Hi! Great video. How is the platsidip holding up after 5 months?
Hi and thanks! Still holding up strong and no issues so far thru weather and car washes 👍
So you don’t have anything in between the letters on the paint? You sprayed that to, and it just peels off perfectly like that? Just fyi great channel. I did all my lights in mine exactly like yours. I have the exact car. Thanks for any info you can give. Love it.
Hi and thanks for checking out my channel and videos 👍 yup nothing between the letters and plastidip. Just prep/clean well and sprayed just like the video. Once you have enough coatings and dries, it peels off. I didn't rush the peeling, went slowly. Hopefully this helps and good luck if you decide to plastidip your emblems ✌
@@SpendingJar love it. I’m not the best car guy but you really make it easy for those of us that suck at things like this. Keep it up
So what did you use to not get in between the civic lettering
Hi, just sprayed, once dried, I peeled off around the letter. The Civiv in plastidip remained 👍
Just curious How has it held up in the rain/carwashes?
So far so good, no issues. I self wash with a pressure washer and its held on great.
So the trick is to peel it off of your paint without peeling it off of your emblems?
The tape in-between the H is a good hack for getting that peeled off, I’ll do that if I try this. 👍
Yup, it peels off the paint easily and somehow self cuts around the emblems. My guess is due to the edges of the emblems. I'll be doing the window trim next, hopefully those turn out good too. 👍
@@SpendingJar Might try it tomorrow on my old Volvo to get a practice run.
Gonna trade it in towards a sport hatch soon anyway if I can find one near me with low miles.
@@Average_CoD_Clips Best of luck on it, let me know how it turns out. Hopefully you can find a good price on the Sport 🙏
@@SpendingJar It’s raining today :(
Fresh
Thanks! 😎
What did you use to get in between all the civic letters?
I used a toothpick when I did mine, so it wouldn't scratch the paint surface.
Who ever said Asians don’t have butts. Great video coach.
We just hide it well, like our age 😉 Thanks Coach!
would you do underglow?
Hey thanks for checking out my video. Never thought about underglow but I still have a few more lights to upgrade in the future.
Any tips? Just did it for the second time and mine doesn’t peel like yours it just peels off completely even if I try to go around 😫😫
It peels the emblem part off with it? I'm guessing its the same car and OEM emblem... If you haven't already, I would try peeling off slowly around the emblems. It should just cut off from my experience.
Also maybe do lighter sprays when spraying in an angle, maybe there is too much plastidip around the edges of the emblem that it peels it off with it. When you spray, it should be layers of light spray, nothing runny, just a slight wet look.
Best of luck if you try again. Hopefully it works out 👍
@@SpendingJar appreciate your reply ! I got a 2021 sport hatchback, I’ll do lighter sprays maybe that was the issue
@@franciscosaldivar6251 let me know how it turns out. They say 3rd times the charm 😎
Can this be done to the “H” on the rims?:)
Hi, I don't see why not. People plastidip the entire rims too. Thanks for watching 👍
Did you do the front badge?
Hi and no, I did not do the front yet. I need to get the front done. I'll have a video out on it when I do. Thanks for watching 👍
You don’t need 30 min drying. You can do 5-8 minutes between coats
I just got a 2022 Civic hatchback and want to start doing small changes like this. It’s my 1st time tho and I’m nervous I would mess it up.
buy the real OEM black emblems for 80 bucks at college hills honda
Great thing about plastidip, its not permanent. Like you saw in the video, you can peel off any mistakes and start over. I know this is a few months old but hope you tried it out.
Did it hold up when washed and scrubbed?
Hi and yea, I've been pressure washing it at home with no issues. I have a video on it on my channel. Thanks for checking out my video 👍
@@SpendingJar thanks for the reply, man. I want to do this on the edges of the grille and windows.
Have you done your window trims yet? Debating between plasti dip or a vinyl wrap.
Hi! I have not yet, it is on my to do list. Currently working on my garage remodel video, that's why I haven't posted a video in awhile. I'll try to get the trim done in a week. Thanks for watching 👍
@@SpendingJar looking forward to the next video! Thanks for the quick reply!
@@Snazzifyd any time
How do you get 33 almost 34 mpg i only get 25 and i just bought the car about 2 months ago help me please lol 😭
Hi, I do mostly highway driving. I'm guessing you do a lot of local street driving?
Yep for the most part street roads is what I’m on
@@edwarddejesus9968 Then your mpg seems about normal, depending on your style of driving. You can probably get it a little higher if you don't smash the gas pedal a lot. But that isn't fun 😎
@@SpendingJar why have a sport mode if you don’t use you know lol
@@edwarddejesus9968 💯 agree! Love using sport mode to get on highway ramps 👍
Would you do it any different if you wanted a gloss look?
Plasti Dip sells the glossifier if you want a gloss look or you can buy Hyperdip, its another company like PlastiDip. They sell all in one sprays.
If I had to do it over to make a glossy look, I'll probably try HyperDip Piano Black.
Also, you wouldn't do anything different. You apply the Plasti Dip glossifier at the end before you peel the access off.
Now how easy is it to do the front?
Haven't done the front yet. I was going to Hyperdip the front vs plastidip. Once the weather gets warm, I'll have a video on it. Thanks for checking out the video!
It's easy same as doing the back and the window trims. Spray it on peel it off. Did mine this week 1 can will do the lot. 😊
A respirator outside just doing emblems?!? LMFAO!!!
Yuppp 😂👍
Half day to spray emblems...
nice video but plz take off that video filter because i cant see quality at all but nice video tho
Hey thanks for the input. Yea, I'm still learning how to color grade. I've noticed YT plays video at 480p some time and I have to set it back to 1080p. Did you noticed if YT played the video at a lower quality?
Can't run that car through a car wash anymore tho can you?
I haven't tried since I wash my cars at home but I wouldn't recommend it unless it's touchless car wash or maybe hand wash? Maybe I'll make a video going through a machine car wash for content one day. Thanks for watching 👍
Back emblems are ez clicked on the video to see how you did the front but nvm 😂
Why didnt you just get the Sport or Sport Touring if you are an enthusiast bruh
Good question, guessing personal preference at the end of the day: Commuter car for work so didn't care for center exhaust upgrade, passing the car eventually to the kids, comfort features, saving some $ from getting the touring, lack of new cars at dealership nearby in sonic grey color, sport didn't have moonroof, its been a year so I can't remember it all lol. But I thought it be a fun platform to start some simple diy youtube video on it 👍 appreciate you checking it out!
@@SpendingJar i see i feel you man, im about to be a father soon so my whole life about to change lol. Great paint job though btw, i did the samething a while back except i didnt peel off the inner parts of the H. I think it looks more aggressive.
@@nood1ez Yo! Huge congrats on being a father to be! Life will change that's for sure... I had a 65 Shelby Cobra kit car I was working on and BOOM once kids arrived, I sold it for a Van 🤦♂️ haha insert "emotional damage" 😂
But serious congrats to you and your fam 👏
@@SpendingJar haha wow...thank you i appreciate it.
Mobil impian
Thanks for watching! 👍
Why not buy a cheap black honda badge and throw away the "civic" way less work.
Hi and thanks for watching. That's definitely an option. I wanted to show others how to plastidip if they wanted too. 1 can I sprayed my badages and chrome trim. More work but cheaper overall.
@@SpendingJar Makes sense
I want to do this to my Accord but then it be looking like my ex-wife Camry 😡
Can y’all just enjoy a perfectly new car without ricing it out and destroying it’s value 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
The plasti dip can be removed…it’s not permanent
