Looking sharp! I'm still in the air. I only have one badge and am considering this. Last time I plasti dipped it came out sorta textured. Mind sharing your method?
Love the license plate

Your HEMI badge looks great! How did you get it to show so well with the paint over it because mine aren't that good.

Looks good..hopefully it won't wear off for you like it did for me. I did about 5 coats and after about 6 months it was wearing off! Next I'll actually paint them!

I did my girlfriends badges this past weekend
It seems to me that the farther away you spray it the more texture you get
How heavy of a coat also is a factor too, when I first did her pillar I did light coats and it came out textured

Awesome man!! Good job, it looks alot like my truck with the colors. Love those VA "don't tread on me" tags too. You're probably not too far from where I am.

Looks good. Did the same thing yesterday except just the two ram badges, from and back. The side ones I had taken completely off. I'd like to see how your rims turn out, I'm still contemplating that part. I could easily get carried away with the stuff lol.
