Does anyone know of any decals or inserts available on the market yet for the platinum lettering on the tailgate of the 2015 Platinums? I picked up some really nice thick plastic SUPERDUTY letters on my previous truck for the tailgate, and would like to put some glossy black or flat black letters in the indented "platinum" lettering.
Picture for reference off the web, looking to fill these letter indents with some color.
I might have a solution that is a DIY project that's very easy - I did it myself to my Corvette when it was just a few days old. I was a little nervous but everything worked out well and if you mess up it's easy to remove the paint if you don't let the paint completely cure. Below is a link to a thread in the Corvette Forum (that I also read) with some pretty detailed instructions - if you'll read on through the many pages you'll see subsequent posts where people have added their own tricks and tips. You can use any color that you like - If there is some spray touch-up paint the same color as your truck, that could be interesting. But I'm thinking black might look best against the shiny metal. I had to respray mine after about 3 years as the red had faded to orange - easier the 2nd time around. Oh, and if *I* was doing this to my truck I'd probably take the tailgate off to do the work somewhere else just to make it easier to control where any overspray might blow...
Here are before and after pics of my car. Sorry, I don't have any really close up shots - most people assume it's factory unless I tell them I did it myself. There are many much better and closer pictures in the forum thread.
The company I bought my Super Duty letters from is going to see if the manufacture can make a product for this or if they have one/or in the works. They were very nice laser cut letters with 3m tape on the back side, very thick and nice, not the cheap vinyl letters that fade or fall off over time. As soon as I hear back, I'll let you guys know.
There is no font made from Ford so I had my sign guy hand cut all the letters in white platinum color. The picture does show how great it really looks on the truck guys
