Tacoma tailgate

Wondering if there is such thing as personalizing layouts of stickers on a tailgate and doing a clear coat or proxy coat over it??

 

Nope

 

What is a "PROXY COAT" ? G00gIe search wasn't much help.

 

I'm guessing the "proxy coat" is meant to be Epoxy Coat.

You can certainly personalize your tailgate. Stickers, decals, paint, vinyl wrap, dents, scratches, scrapes.......whatever you want.

Sure you could clear coat the result. Need to be sure to use a product compatible with the paint on the tailgate.

 

yeah, Mod Podge that thing!

 

Paint me with the "Why" color.

 

Yes.

 

Epoxy is really only good for wood like on a bar top or coffee table where you’ve carved designs into it or have bottle caps or other small decorative pieces laying on the wood and you want to achieve a smooth surface. Epoxy would be way overkill on a tailgate for stickers and also wouldn’t probably hold up well to any amount of use. Plus your tailgate would be stupid heavy with all the additional weight. Simple clear coat over the stickers should do the trick but keep in mind if you mess up or change your mind; you're sanding everything down to the metal and starting over. There are no do-overs or easy fixes

 

I wanted this decal, I waited too long and never ordered

 

It's still available on Ebay.

If only that was a big pair of eyeballs........................

 

Not for me, but I like it! I want to see a picture of a truck with this in the wild.

 

FYI - Epoxies are not typically UV stable, and will yellow pretty quick in direct sunlight exposure.
