Tailgate Decal's

I recently bought a set of FORD letters for styleside decals. I plan on getting these digitized so I can cut more in any color.

If there is interest I will also buy some for the Flare side beds and do the same.

A lot has to do with how much the final number will be and what the letters will be cut from, ie 3M stock?
May want to check Ebay to see what the going rate is and if you can come close on $$ to them.
I was looking for flare side letters in reflective white, not silver.

A local sign shop said they start at $200 just to pull in to the garage! They could not take me in right then or I might have gone for it but that price was crazy and will not be done.
I was able to find a place on line but the reflective looked silver and think was close to $100. So not the color I wanted and a little more than I wanted to spend so I have no letters on my gate.

Good luck on your venture

Will probably be Oracle 5400 for reflective, or Orafol 5600, both have better performance than 3M. It's a bit pricier but it's reflective and 5 mil thick and designed specifically for cars. It's the same reflective stuff they use on emergency vehicles. I was not even thinking anywhere near $100 a set. Depending on the price of the specific material as some like the 5600 can run a $3,$4,$5 per square foot (reflective vs non reflective etc) I was thinking between $30-$50 shipped max. White reflective tends to have a bit of a silver/gray color to it. It's what makes it reflective.
