You should just take the tC emblem off or relocate it somewhere else. The scion logos look good. Did you sand and clear your wheels? If not that will chip off extremely easy

Plasti dip is pretty durable. I just got back from a 600 mile road trip in horrible storms and my wheels look the same as the day I sprayed them. I need to do my emblems when I get the time. Its easy to do them without taking the emblems off...theres how to's all over the interwebs.

yeah you are a very bold and confident person to be spraying your emblems with them still on the car.
definitely would not recommend that

^super easy to do it w/o removing emblems....nothing bold about it. The stuff just peels right off, its not like spray paint. I've done it on other cars and never had problems it works great and is pretty much idiot proof.

I wouldn't do regular spray paint with the emblems still on the car, but plasti dip just peels off if you screw up

I think you should get some white touchup paint and paint the scion name in it
