Need help deciding a small paint detail...Poll...

[1979Camperspecial]

As some of you may know, my truck was hit about 2 months ago. during it's stay at the body shop I decided to have the tailgate painted to match as it was still the original two-tone silver and blue. I can't decide whether I should paint the letters on the tailgate or leave it. Help me decide.

Grabbber Green! Nah, white or blue.

I say leave it blue.

If I really wanted to do something different, I'd think about painting the bossed area (low part) white, and leaving the debossed letters blue...but that'd take a lot of work, and have to be perfect or it would look terrible.

As original as your truck looks, I'd go with white.

 

[smokey]

Gotta agree with the pig on this.

 

[DNFXDLI]

If white was original...leave it as such.

 

[lostinfords]

Tough call, a light shade of white would contrast nice, as well as black..but I am partial to the F O R D panel that covers the letters

 

[Fellro]

You could also go silver with the letters, not in your face standout, but accents nicely.

 

[Mil1ion]

I agree with Fellro

Ford made a mistake not having a silver option with the standard white

 

[RedLariat85]

I'd leave it white...keeping the truck original looking. but silver would look AWESOME!!

 

[SuperCab]

I'd make it white

In the pictures that I could find in brochures,they were white.
But I say Creme !

No paint, get an XLT (I think) Ford panel to go over it.

 

[NOCO77]

I'm with Lee - put both XLT trim pieces on it.

 

[RustyCJ]

Leave it as is.

 

[redneckryder]

Harley-Davidson orange!!!!! ha ha...no, don't do that. I like the silver or black

 

[HazzardMadWolf]

I say silver. It would stand out more with your trim.

 

[Fellro]

My old man's 84 had orange lettering on a desert sand truck... the only orange on the whole truck was the F O R D on the tailgate...

Why not Black AND Silver?
