Fleetside Tailgate Letters - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This post is in regard for a FLEETSIDE tailgate.

Does anyone make the vinyl "C H E V R O L E T" letters in the original off-white color?

All I have seen for sale are, white, black, red, or chrome.

My roof is the ivory color, and the pure white letters I've' seen won't look too good.

Anyone custom painted the letters?

How hard is it, to do ?

Any reponses will be appreciated.

I've seen those letters, thay are PURE white, they do not look good with an Ivory Roof.
The original color of the roof is "Cameo White", when viewed side by side, with a pure white, there is a very obious difference.

I hand painted my letters with random, old paint sitting in the garage. Definitely could have gotten better results if I had used tape or gone slower than I did. Or both

Another option is to find a sticker person who can make a set of stickers for you in the color of your choice

Oh off white. I forgot now where I got mine.

vehicle wrap places can scan a set of new chevy script letters and print in the color you want. Easy
