Tailgate trim, said no to woodgrain.

[barn9]

The old woodgrain vinyl was cracked and weathered pretty bad on my tailgate, and I debated about replacing it, but took this route instead. Removed the letters (hated to, but had to bite the bullet), and painted the area satin black. Since I had ground the rivet style attachments off of the letters, I taped them back in location, and used JB Weld to re-attach them. They seem to be solid, but I'll find out next time at the car wash. It was worth a try at the price of a new set of chrome letters. I never have been a fan of the woodgrain vinyl used on these trucks, so I am happy with the way it turned out, looks a lot better IMO, but of course, that is my opinion, and I'm sure there are some that prefer the woodgrain.
