You should do it given its probably the easiest to do. Literally takes a minute or so to tape up and as we all know, easy to peel off if you dont like it. Now the F stands out vs the clear indicator below.
I used 2 coats plasti and about 4 coats clear and to me it came up nice. Not 100% black but close enough and yet still easily visible when the hazards / indicators are on

I should of took a before and after but you can see a kind of side shot of mine of the side ind black. Especially with the window trim etc all black it blends in nice (in particular with a black ISF)

I'm not sure what the weather is like over there but if its not warm, the plasti dip can will not dry nicely. I had it finished runny a few years back on a different car even I was shaking the can for a good 5 minutes beforehand.

Painted in the garage as it was a bit windy but were in Summer mode in Aust. Most days its mid 30ºC so its very hot so it dries real quick :-)
