I just masked off the back of the car, and didn't bother to remove the emblems. If you can decent with masking, its easier that way.

I did remove the front emblems and foglight surrounds, just because I could do it easily.

Love plasti-dip, looks as good as it did when I sprayed it, and its been on the car for 1.5 years now.

I should say that I just took off the badge on my 04 cooper, and the clear coat was peeling underneath. Paint is much lighter also (car is silver), so it looks pretty crummy up close.

Annoying since my dad took the badge off his 06 green cooper and it literally looks perfect. My 20 year old volvo looked perfect underneath too... maybe its just better with dark colors.
