Tailgate before and After

Here is the new and improved tailgate. I opted for a single color and then ordered decals for the lettering off of ebay. They were very reasonable and a perfect fit. I realize that this is not a stock look, but I like it just the same.

Re: Tailgate before and After

Why did you go from a painted tailgate to that white one

Looks great. One of my favorite factory colors AND it's a 67, even better!

Re: Tailgate before and After

I liked the white if the rest for the truck was the same. But the new look and truck very sharp! I love that color!

Looks Good!

Could let me the name of the buyer that you got the decal from, I would like to see if he has ''Chevrolet'' for my gate.

Thanks.

Re: Tailgate before and After

TNT Graphics on ebay, and I think he does have them for Chevrolet. A word of advise, start at the top of the letter and work your way down SLOWLY and you shouldn't get any wrinkles. TAKE YOUR TIME and it will come out great.

Re: Tailgate before and After

I like it also. on putting the letters on I use soapy water and you can slide them around until they are where you want them . then press the water out and they are on for good in a few minutes ...
