Where can I find Vinyl Tailgate letter in different colors??

I'm wanting some letters for my 65 fleetside tailgate but I want a darker grey, gunmetal grey, smoke grey. Seems like the only ones I keep finding are the basic colors. Seems I seen some over the years that were grey. Anybody got any ideas? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I would think you would have a local sign shop that will have a huge choice of colors...The guy I go to has racks of vinyl...

Well there's companies that cut them to a custom pattern (normally local shops) and they can get them in any color and pattern imaginable as for major retail chains go theres not much market for anything more than white and black

I just bought a set of white letters....haven't installed...also really wanted other than white or black.

I'll head to local sign shop and ask if they can replicate font in other colors. Imagine there is a set up charge + per unit cost etc.

Not interested in marketing them, but if we can get several made and lessen cost to all...what colors would be desired?

Brown? Tan? Gunmetal Grey?

It took about 2 hours to fine line then mask off my tailgate all except the letters. Then I shot "the black letters" in paint. You could do the same. Any color you want. I will admit it was a pain in the ,,,

I think what I'm probably going to end up doing is buy some chrome letters and scan them in and make a file to take to the local sign shop and have them cut some for me. The letters are cheap enough. I was just trying to save some time.

There is a member on the board PGSign who is a vinyl sign shop. You might want to PM him
