Vector graphics file of Chevrolet tailgate lettering?
Does anyone have a source for an .ai or .eps file of the Chevrolet stepside tailgate lettering? I took this picture of my truck last night with the lights installed and operating:
And I'm thinking that the tailgate lettering in some reflective material would be funky. |

But I think his point was to use something other than those options. I can see a reflective tape looking cool at night, glowing when lights it it.

You weren't being snarky (I read your response in my email before you deleted it). What I would like to do is use a clear reflective material on the existing prime red tailgate. During the day you wouldn't really see it, but at night headlights or the license plate light would make it glow.

Re: Vector graphics file of Chevrolet tailgate lettering?
Going over the primer with the vinyl can cause adheasion issues so use caution there. There are several grades of reflective vinyl and the less expensive (it's all expensive) can last 2 to 3 years out in the sun and the very expensive for road signs can last 10. With a photo and a few measurements the vector file can be done.

Re: Vector graphics file of Chevrolet tailgate lettering?
You could purchase the tailgate vinyl letters and use them as a template.....
