Tailgate trim

So what are all you wrappers doing with tailgates that have fancy plastic badging on it like the Ford platinum, RAMs with the giant tailgate lettering. Are you wrapping over this? If its paint matched its not really an issue, but some of the ford offerings are a plastic contrast to the body paint like brushed chrome plastic and Ive been told not to wrap this. I'm not a wrap shop, not yet, but a tailgate represents a great place for information and contour graphics. I've only run into a handful of clients so far and I told them I just didn't think I could do it and give them a reliable outcome.

 

OK thank

OK, thank you, that's what I was afraid of. I'm not currently doing wraps but large printed contour graphics and lettering. I wanted to do a partial wrap on my pickup for advertisement purposes and the tailgate is not smooth and has all kinds of lines in it.... No badging though which is nice.
I may have to just fit my name and website on there and call it good. That stinks. But as far as working with those in the future it makes me nervous to get into wraps to encounter things like that where I'll be scratching my head.

 

I haven't gotten around to making a Facebook or insta yet but I think I need to soon. My thing is should I do a phone number, website, or social media? Which one is most memorable and easy to see? I like the window perf idea. I want to get some practice with that too.

 

This was my thought. I always thought less is better. Especially if it's a fast moving billboard. Thanks for the tip!

 

Same thing I would do. I just wasn't sure if that's something that was being done in the industry. But like I said my first reaction was to pull that stuff off. Hopefully the tailgate is smooth undernieth.

 

I suppose as long as it conforms to the shape of the indent nobody would probably notice much when standing 5 feet or farther back. Especially if the design is busy enough.
