Emblem Stuff

So i was looking through some threads and i saw that plasti dip is being used on many emblems, So i wanted to give it a try. It turned out pretty good , I used the spray can version of the product, My question is, Should i leave it as is now or paint the letters? If so what color for the letters? Thanks.

The front was just on via double sided tape, I did not tackle the back yet, it has them push rivits or whatever holding the back on, Do you suggest a color for the letters?

You're swapping the color scheme... paint the letters silver.

For the rear emblems you don't have to remove them. Simply mask of the areas that you don't want painted, spray, let it dry and start pealing. It should peal from everything but the emblems.
