Using light coats of Palasti-Dip works better for coverage of the silver with translucence of the indicators.

I also Plasti-Dipped my tail light (I only did one) but felt as if it would make it too hard for others to see my brakes and turn indicators. Once I realized that, I decided that having others know what I was doing was more important than the look that it gave me. I did like the blacked out look of the lens, but want the lights to be more visible to the people following me. I peeled the Plasti-Dip off the tail light.

I also completed my door handles, and that is still there, but I do not like the look/feel of the texture on the handles. However, It does show me that I want to have them painted, as they look much better on my Black Cherry color when they are darker and not silver.
1. So the silver piece you plasti dipped is actually removable? Easily?

2. I feel the same way which is why I haven't done mine.

3. Yes, definitely get them painted. I think plasti dip is good for giving you the idea of what a certain color looks like without having to actually commit to it. I personally don't like how poor plasti dip looks with a little wear and dirt. Good for temporary solution, bad for long term.
