Plan on doing my emblems, chrome pieces and the civic emblem. It it easier just to take off the civic emblem and spray it?
For the front/back chrome pieces, how do those come off?
Also this plastic piece on the steering wheel I put red dots on.. What is this piece called.

For the chrome and the badges I just taped around them with painters tape. Others have taken them off. Explanations of both are in the thread I believe.
Good luck and post pictures on how it turns out.

idk... can't say it'll hold up. It gets shiney and glossed over with heat and becomes sticky. I know because i've seen it first hand :/

i wouldnt use dip on the high traffic areas of the steering wheel because it would probably get peeled up. also i know i wouldnt be happy with the finish. but its your call
Only reason I asked cause I wanted to put CF pieces there. I don't wanna plasti dip those pieces.

? The 2013 oem dash pieces around the radio and stuff? That is not real carbon fiber. It's just plastic pieces made to look like carbon.
