What do you have against Ted? Thanks for the info.*red not Ted
Thanks for all the info... do you have a good YouTube video you recommend for the wrap?? Also, did you have enough material with the 1x5 3M kit on Amazon??That’s a vinyl wrap I did. You can grab the stuff from Amazon. It is 3M - 2080 Matte Deep Black. Very easy to do with some knifeless tape, cheap vinyl squeegee and YouTube.
I don't think 1x5 would be enough. The tailgate section itself is about 11.5" and you need a few inches top and bottom for the knifeless tape to work. Also 5ft is not going to leave you with enough to do around the tail lights either. If you only wanted to do the tailgate (IMO it would look weird) you need the 2x5 section. If you want to do the tailgate and lights you need 2 rolls of 2x10.Thanks for all the info... do you have a good YouTube video you recommend for the wrap??

I just ordered the orange and gray letters from Limitless so once I get the tailgate wrap done and the letters arrive I’ll have some Mojave Sting Grey pics to share!
Wow! Thank you for the scoop, I really appreciate it. I will order it from them... also, appreciate the video wasn’t sure if there was a specific one you recommendedI don't think 1x5 would be enough.

RVINYL.com has some left. You can purchase two sections of 2x5 at $25 for each. Links to vinyl and squeegees are below. As far as YouTube just search for tips/tricks to install 3m vinyl wrap. FYI I did find a video specific for wrapping the gladiator tailgate, so I posted it below too.

Insert eco diesel drooling emoji here... blue trim looks awesome!FINALLY!! I made time to wrap and stick the badges.
Thanks I was nervous when I placed the order, I am thinking about wrapping the letters grey to lighten it up a bit.Insert eco diesel drooling emoji here... blue trim looks awesome!
Was waiting to see one in matte black. Sold!!Today's mod.
Looks great. Do mind sharing more about your wrap. Did you do it yourself? What did you use was it raw vinyl or a kit? I was looking at 3m 2080 in satin but your matte looks so good now im conflicted.FINALLY!! I made time to wrap and stick the badges.
I ordered a kit that came pre cut in 3 sections from LB designs on Etsy. It was a bit of a PITA making sure everything was straight and matching up lines on the taillight sections, but manageable. if I were to do it again I would order raw material and use cutting tape to cut off excess material, but hindsight is 2020 right. I do love the Matte black though, came out really nice.Looks great. Do mind sharing more about your wrap. Did you do it yourself? What did you use was it raw vinyl or a kit?

@Snakeyes the wrap on mine is also the Matte (2080 Matte Deep Black). I preferred it over the satin and did it myself. Much easier to pull lines with the knife less tape then slap the vinyl on over it and rip the knifeless tape off.I ordered a kit that came pre cut in 3 sections from LB designs on Etsy.

Thanks to you both for your replies. I think im now covinced that i should so deep matte 2080 with knifeless. which was basically where i was at but the satin idea popped in my head in the last week for some reason.@Snakeyes the wrap on mine is also the Matte (2080 Matte Deep Black).
