I just went outside and wrapped the tailgate handle. I'm not sure I like it, but it's much better than the faded black for now. I'll probably leave it on there until I get around to painting the bumper pad and bedrail caps, etc.

P.S. It is not as gold/chrome as it looks in the picture. There's lot of sun light reflecting off of it and I was standing in a dark garage when I took the photo.

Got my samples in today. Thinking about doing one of the gloss metallic silvers... How do you guys think that would look?

Vinyl holds up great. Both of my trucks had/have it on and throughout them.

It all comes down to how much time you take doing it and making sure everything is laid right, and not asking too much of the vinyl. Always leave excess and trim accordingly.

very true. I think the green and anthracite would give me a similar look to your new truck. Want to send me a few pics of it? Not a common color combo?

I was just about to have you look up some of the Cabelas trucks. They have the green/gray combo and it looks pretty good.

Yessir I can post some or send some pictures.

It's definitely not a common color combo and gets compliments for being so..

The silver on mine is 3M brushed steel.

I'm a sucker for silvers, if you go with a silver in my opinion just don't go too glossy because then it may over take the green. That gloss anthracite would probably look pretty damn good.

Love it man looks great. Would you guys ever attempt to get a color close enough and get rid of the two tone completely.

no. It would be way to hard to match. The 3m swatch had nothing remotely close for mine at least
