there is how to's to tint tails too if u wanna look it up


yes is u F up u just peel it off. what i did was clean the emblem then use masking tape and make a square around the oval, then tape some newspaper on the bumper and rest of the tail gate. then take a small peice of tape and put it in the middle of the ford in the oval. let a corner stick up. also taped over the camera nicely. then i took a heat gun and made the chrome warm not hot. srayed first coat nice and even, overlapping each pass and not staying in one spot. i then slowly went back and forth with the heatgun on low to help speed up the cureing. just when it seemed to be almost fully dry i did the next coat. so on the 4th coat i sprayed it the same way and let it dry be itself. when it was 85-90% dry i started taking everything off. i started with the squared around the emblem. took off tape and started picking at the corner once i started it i wnet SLOW and it peeled right off. then i took off the small peice on the ford. that gave me a starting point to peel. peel that slowly as well. then took off tape from camera and took off test of tape and paper. then i applied the new decal with the heat gun

its easy to do capt. doesnt take too long to do either

ya i know and it looks so much better as seeing we have like next to no chrome on our trucks. plus it goes with the F150 and Raptor emblems it ties it all together. think it would look real good with the blue seeing as iam probably going to do the fender flares and bumpers as well. just not sure if i want to do line x or not i dont know if i want the textured look on the flares. might look good as it would match the running boards well see.
