scratched tailgate cap

Silverado-Hareek · June 2, 2015

Looking good or bad is all in the eye of the beholder.

I try not to sweat the small stuff. There are guys that maintain their vehicles to levels that are amazing. It makes them feel good. I can appreciate their dedication and enthusiasm. I'm not that guy. I actually feel better about my trucks at about 60-80,000 miles when the scuffs and scratches have accumulated to the point that I don't worry about my truck much anymore. Lower stress, better living. I bought my truck to use as a hunting vehicle.

I agree with this completely. I was on eggshells with my 2014 when I first got it until I scratched the side, had it fixed, then 2 months later it was pummeled with hail. I got that fixed but then I let a buddy back it up and he put a small scratch in the rear fender again. I'm living with that scratch at this point. I don't want to keep shelling out money to try to keep it pristine. I too can't wait until about 60-80k miles when it's paid off, there's a few more dings, and I can relax more.

Put a bad scratch on my 2012 third day while opening the door with key in hand. Seen a new truck that looked liked the owner never washed and has curbed and scraped white letters off the tires.

I am getting line x sprayed in on tuesday and i've had to move some stuff this weekend. I noticed that my tailgate cap got all scratched up. Is there any way to replace these or have line x just sprayed over it?

I looked at a few threads but couldnt find a definitive answer. Any help would be appreciated.

New excuse to get a 2015 or 2016 model.

Sorry posted that while on the thrown yesterday using my phone so no truck details. Just tell the wife you scratched the 2015 and you need a 2016.

I tried to live with the door ding my dad put on mine when we were out camping. Parked beside is ford and he must not have liked how much better mine looked so he decided to get aggressive with his door and bam, nice crease just above the chrome strip. Just got it back yesterday from the body shop and my dad payed for the damage, mind is at ease looking at that door now.
