I did the bumpers, grill and nerf bars. Its been a year and it has held up great. No peeling or fading. I did put on three coats tho.

With your black accessories I think you should to with black handles , just my opinion though. It's easier to come by and you'll know what color it will be instead of hoping it will match a certain shade of red. Also, I've heard that on door handles it does rub off and damage easier.

i have a white truck also and thought about doing the grill and bumpers white, but a saw a vid of a guy who did his wheels white and he said everything stuck to them and hard to keep clean, so it kinda made me leary of trying it haha. but who knows im stubborn and may try it anyways.

Put white dip on it then get a glossy white spray paint to cover it up. It will still peel off just the same. It will be less "sticky" than the plastidip only.

So I just did my emblems. Question is, how can I use red plasti dip on the inside lettering without tearing the black off?

Don't think you can. Do a search and find a thread about the user Moody Blue and check out the work he does with die-cut decals. He can make some up for ya. His work looks amazing.

I may be misunderstanding your question, but I'd just use red paint if your just looking to make the FX4 red over the PD'd emblem...it will peel off with the rest of it if you don't like it. Or fellow forum member Moody Blue can hook u up with some inlays.
