I’ve been throwing around the idea of removing the “Accord V6” badges and plastidip-ing the Honda badge.

I don’t know why I’m so hesitant. Probably because I’ve never had a lot of luck doing these kinds of things.

Here’s a quick photoshop.

EDIT: This is what it might look like if I don’t remove the badges and I just plastidip all of them.

No to the plasti dip, yes to the badge removal.

do it! the H badge usually has two holes behind it, so best to keep it. remove the others with fishing line or floss, and a little goo gone.

Plastidip on a normal car looks horrible IMHO.

I’ll be honest, it looks really good in Cool Blue Metallic.

Kinja'd!!!

(This is the facelifted version, but it also looks good on the pre-facelift model, I just can’t find a picture).

I’ve never been a fan of debadging personally because I think it looks like it was wrecked and repaired with non oem parts.

But hey if you like it...

I would just dip all the badges black

Looks kind of weird, no offense. Keep the badges, and maybe paint the frame; it looks faded.

Go for it. It is a Honda badge and easily replaceable.

I have one that says “I’m not driving fast, just flying low,” but the cops would think I’m a street racer.

Remove badges, no plastidip. That’s my honest opinion. I think black plastidip on a silver car looks tacky.

That’s the only frame I have that doesn’t have a tacky saying. I’d probably dip one of the other frames.

Screw them badges and do THIS everywhere.

You must.

You can’t truly own a Honda without doing it.

May I ask, what is your motivation for doing this? What does it achieve that appeals to you?

Aesthetics.

I figured. I was just trying to get an idea of the look you’re going for. Anyway, from my experience with plastidip I wouldn’t recommend it. It likes to peel away from any edges too easily, and it’s downhill from there. Better go with a matte spray paint, maybe remove the emblem and then reinstall afterward. I wouldn’t discard the other badges but rather paint them to match. That way you have something that looks cohesive like it could have been factory installed but is something no one could ever get from the factory. Unique but not home made would be the look I would go for.

That’s really good advice. I’ll take it into consideration.
