Wow...very good service!

any bro here did plasticdip for the emblem before? Any comment?

I did for my last ride (Front grille, headlamp chrome trimmings and rear emblems) 

Easily DIY. Just need to prep the surface carefully. 

Intending to do so for my GLC once I sort out if I want to dechrome via wrap or plastidip.

Bro, for plasticdip  the finishing surface seem not so nice...it will not be smooth??

 

the base colours will be matt in look and texture. 

You can add metallizer (which I did) or pearlizer coating for the additional effect you want.

Can add on a final coat of glossifier (which I did too) to get the smoother gloss look.

you can google those terms I highlighted in bold to see how they work and their effect.

The cool thing about plastidip is that it can easily DIY and if you muck it up or don't like the final effect (cos of newbie limited experience), you can always tear it out and redo it again.

Thks for the infor and pics. 

How long can it last bf it started to peel?

I had mine on for 2 yrs without any peeling. Went through petrol station car wash using powerjet washers regularly without any peeling.

 Online search for other's experience seem like it last much longer. Especially if you are just using it on small parts like grills and chrome bits.

Should I change from my original GLC Coupe AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels painted himalayas grey with burnished finish to GLC 43 or night package 5-twin-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels painted in black with burnished finish?

Send it for good quality painting? It's just proper masking of the burnished surface and the rest just spray paint black.

but if you are selling your original staggered set, let me know, I might consider changing to that :)
