how did you block out the paint around the badge?

 

No need to, the plastic dip will just peal off.

ah i see,  B)

 

did you run around the edges with a blade and how many coats did you use? also what brand of paint or the supplier?

At least 4 light coats. No need for a knife as the sticking pads on back of the badges form a edge. So when you peel it will break away at that point.

 

Key is thin multiple coats.

brilliant thanks should save a few pound on the monte carlo badges,

 

last question... is there any brand plasticote paint , or will anything do?

I've used the trade mark plastidip. There is 2 versions, European and USA. The latter is more. IMHO using both there is little difference to justify the price.

 

I cannot comment on other brands, but if you use the same process the results should be fine.

 

Had them on the car since doing it and the plastidip is still fine.

 

You can use a "glossifer" to give them a slightly gloss effect,It's harder to get a gloss effect so leaving them matt is easier.
