Default Need help after Plasti Dip

I just Plasti Dipped my emblems. I removed the black dip from inside the "0" in F150. I stood back, looked at it for a while and thought it didn't look right. I thought it looked weird to see a small white dot inside the blacked out emblem. So I filled it back in and left it.

Now I can't freaking decided to remove it or not. For now it's filled. Anyone have opinions on whether to leave it filled in or not? Specifically anyone that blacked out their emblems on a White F150.

Sorry, I don't have a picture of it removed.

I'd take it off the entire emblem. Personally, I think it makes our trucks look cheap.

I think those are some Moody Blue inlays.

Make the 0 white. Also, Ive seen it on 1 guys truck on here, get White Plastidip and put that over your emblems instead of black, looks really sharp IMO. Better than the black anyway on the white truck.

I plasti dipped the entire emblem and then got a inlay vinyl decal from Moody Blue, member on here. Did the three F-150 emblems like that and also the front and back Ford ovals. Black base with plastidip and then blue overlay/inlay.

Thanks! I think it came out great. It's all in the little touches...

Did you pull the emblem off the truck and do it, or did you tape around and do it right on the truck? I ask, because i did mine on the truck and it looks cheap, but don't want to pull the sticky pad underneath off the truck if I can't get it back on

let me know!

I taped it off but left about a 1/4 gap around edges of the emblem. Beauty of plastidip is since there was a gap, I was able to easily just peel off the surrounding dip and leave the emblem entirely intact. Did about 4 coats.

I will be doing the exact same thing. I also have the Blue Flame and the inlays from Moody Blue.

Haven't had the time to do them yet but looking at yours - makes me want to get them done ASAP.

Looks GREAT!!!
