Plasti dip tailight bezel... Mistake
Trying to take the front emblem was nearly impossible... It was on so tight, anyway.. I tried removing the tailight bezels and cracked both tabs on one of the bezels and still can't get the damn thing off.
Can I plasti dip it with it still on the car? If not why the hell is everything on so tight.. I can't remove them and I'm scared I'm gonna break them in half trying. Help |

I would take a flat head screwdriver with a very thin towel wrapped around it and slowly pry every tab out. Slowly work each out a little at a time working your way around as you are doing it. DO NOT try to get one side completely out and then the other side. This will not work and will most likely resulting in you breaking tabs. Hope this helps! This is what I did to remove mine and plastidip them as well.
Sorry that it is sideways!

I would put the top half way back in, and get the bottom half way out and then work both of them out accordingly.

Why don't you just mask off around them and leave them on?

I'm sorry but a flat head screwdriver with a towel is the wrong way still, I tried it and kind of scratched mine so I found the best thing was this here.. no towel no nothing and they popped right out, go slow and work your way around and btw plastic dip has become my new friend.... good luck..
