Looks awesome! I'm tempted to buy blacked out badges online already have a new Mazda emblem that I'm going to use from Mikstore I'm just concerned on how well the hyper dip will hold up over time I've never used it before though on the car.
That would be my intention to replace the rear Mazda badge with the logo below. And the other stock badges I can get blacked out on Amazon, though the font is slightly different but actually matches that of the logo I just posted. I just don't want to ruin the car by removing the badges especially since no one has steps on how to remove the actual rear Mazda badge.

I want to black out the badges on my wind chill pearl (white) CX 50 and had a couple questions about the process. Would appreciate your help:
- Did you also dip the front grille badge (not pictured), and if so, can you give any tips for removing the badge from the grille? It looks like you might have to take the whole bumper off to access the clips from behind. Would love to know how you did it.
- what kind of adhesive did you used to reattach all the badges after they were dipped?
- where did you buy the hyper dip solution and the adhesive to put them back on?
thanks!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe removing badges is necessary to hyperdip. I think you spray them then remove the excess overspray by pulling (very carefully) and the remainer is supposed to stay on the emblems

i didn't remove the emblems , you spray them while they are on the car, i ordered the hyper dip from there website DipYourCar - World Famous Peelable Auto Paint the front emblem i bought a overlay to cover the front
All of this is in stock at my AutoZone. Will grab tomorrow. Emblems over the weekend. This looks crazy simple.

don't forget to show the finished product
Absolutely. Grabbing materials in an hour or so. Not sure if I will actually do the work today or tomorrow.
That video only went 3 coats, I like where OP did 10. I'll at least get to 7.
I do wonder if I should buy the shine/gloss or leave it matte black.

If it were me I'd go matte black, but that's just a personal preference
I am leaning that way. It also saves me a step. I like matte black stuff quite a bit.
I could always add the shine later, I suppose. Matte Black up against the Pearl/White should look good.

also, home depot has this stuff for less than $10/can...cheaper than auto zone if you have one close by

Home Depot is, unfortunately, a long drive from here. I wish I had known. Had a hot water heater and some plumbing items delivered this morning from there.
I'll pay the extra. The AutoZone the last in the series of three autozones I will pass. Will at least a fun drive out of it.
Plasti Dip acquired. I got the last two cans of black at the store.
One logo, I need some advice on. The Sky Active G logo is black with it's lettering... I'm guessing just leave it alone? It would be an all black badge, I think, if I did that.

I'm going to black that one out too. Found a guy do a CX-5 on YouTube, and I liked his tips and how it came out.
