  • Probably not what you think about when you are applying gold paint also is the resale value. Might not appeal to anyone which may leave you in a situation where you are stuck with a very low trade in.

        he's using plasti-dip. a spray on plastic coating that can be easily peeled off if the need arises. (anyone feel free to correct me on what plasti-dip actually is/how it works)

        • If its easy to peel off does that mean its also easy to crack and peel under standard driving conditions ??

            It's quite strong after fully drying...my vw badges have been done for over a year and they still look the same as day one. No stone chips, no flaking, no cracking. You just need to be sure you give it minimum 3 coats and even up to 5.

              Yeah no issues with this at all if anything it would provide more protection against damage... It's a second to main reason I'd get do it to be honest.

                      Looks good but you should have the grouping together for both front and back. Just my 5 cents.

                      • Yep I definitely want to get one of those german badges, where did you buy them from?

                        Also you should tint your windows, other than that looks sweet!

                        • it looks unbalanced at the back. the angle of the flag doesn't sit right with the vertical lettering & it looks too close. It might work better on the RHS
