Tailgate on a 2-tone paint job? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Piston* · 04-20-2003, 12:15 AM

Could someone please post a pic of a tailgate with a 2-tone paint job? I've seen trucks with a solid paint scheme on the tailgate and I've seen ones with the middle stripe going all the way around the back. What looks best in your opinion? What was factory?

Thanks for any help

Factory two tone had the white on the tailgate below the top trim. I think that looks the best.

Don't forget the other style of 2 tone...but the gate would not be affected at all.
