Wondering if anyone has tried to paint the tailgate body color, the wrap is a no brainer for white and black but my smoked quartz limited I don't think I would get a proper match with wrap.
Mine is smoked Quartz and I did gloss black wrap. Definitely the only way to get a perfect color match would be paint.

Would love to see a picture of how that looks!

Wow, totally looked like black to me in the pictures, it is amazing how different our color looks in different images! I think the black wrap looks great! I was thinking to paint it since it would last longer and could match perfectly, but the wrap could be the way to go since you can remove it if needed when selling.

Even in person it makes the entire tailgate look more black. If I ever change the wrap I’ll probably do a gray brushed metal look.

Decided to tone down the silver platinum tailgate. I used Vvivid Ultra Gloss black wrap.

Nice work! How hard was it to cut around each letter accurately?

Nice work! How hard was it to cut around the individual letters accurately? Looks like you did a sweet job.

Thanks! I just used an exacto razor and slowly cut around them. If you look close it's not perfect but from 5' away you can't tell.

Yup - can’t tell in the photos, for sure.
One more question - did you remove the panel or leave it in place?

I did it on the truck. I started in the middle and worked my way out.

If I were going to do it again I might do a dark brushed metal look instead of gloss black. The black on smoked quartz makes the whole tailgate look black sometimes.
Post pics when you’re done!

Is that the mirrors and the “comma” badge? Looks good!
