let me know!
Plasti Dip is made to just spray over the emblem while its on the truck. Just leave about an inch around the edges so you can peal it off.

I honestly like the contrast between the white paint on the truck and the black emblems. If I start to hate it, I'll just peel it off and move on. But for now, I like it.

remove it from the O. Looks much better. Just use a toothpick to peel it out.

Some people like the chrome and think the flat black looks cheap, but it's all opinion. I think the chrome looks cheap since it's trying to make the truck "flashy". My opinion lol, I hate chrome.

Thanks! I think it came out great. It's all in the little touches...
Any pictures of the oval overlays?

I guess I didn't leave enough room around the edges. When i peeled the tape off the truck it took some of the plasti dip from the edges with it and you can see small amounts of chrome sticking out. I'll try it the other way next time and see if it's better.

I also think the center would look best white.

Can I get some information on this .. I just purchased a fx4 Flame blue and would like to do this with the 3 f-150 emblems dipping them and flame blue inlay vinyl and would also like to do the front grill emblem and tail gate emblem. Can you direct me where to get the stuff?
