I'll be going with white lettering on the tailgate of my alto blue. Give it a little old school Ford scheme to a new model. Good luck with yours, enjoy.

I am planning a gloss black for my tailgate. My color is Velocity Blue. How do you think that will look?

I also went with the chrome look on my Alto Blue. Made it pop and looks like a factory job.

Okay, this will be the first time I have an embossed tailgate that you can't debadge. Part of me says don't highlight it. The other part says it looks cool with the lettering a different color, but that defeats debadging.

I'll admit, I'm color blind and I'm not able to mix colors all that well. So, I a couple questions for all the Alto Blue buyers:

1. Will you be putting the vinyl lettering in the tailgate imprint to highlight the MAVERICK name?

2. If so, what color vinyl will you put with the Alto Blue?

3. If, not, why not? I only ask because I ALWAYS debadge my vehicles and I can't on this one.

FYI: Thinking about replacing the Ford Oval with an American Flag Oval WITHOUT the Ford name.
The wife thinks the lettering should be Red.

I know what you mean about debugging. I don't mind the Ford Oval so much, but the stamped Maverick seems excessive to me—but saying that, I like some of the high lighting of the stamping with contrasting colors also. So, I'm also torn.

Other than the tailgate stamping, I don't think the Maverick is over badged. Two Ford Ovals and the XL (or other trim) on the faux vender vent doesn't seem excessive to me.

I've been thinking about powered coating my steelies a matte bronze, so maybe a bronze lettering on the tailgate would look good. But I've seen some white, black, or red lined black lettering on Velocity Blue that also look good.

Speaking of badging, I just ordered some plain black silicon license plate frame to remove the dealer badged frame.

Yeah, it such a little thing, but it also removes the dealer's name from my truck. I don't object to the dealer, but the tag frame with their name on it is ugly. After the license plate install over the frame, it leaves just a thin black line around the license plate. Much cleaner look.

My choice for my Alto Blue is the reflective crome, anything to keep someone from re-reading me the better

I'm back and forth on whether I'd want to add lettering since I like the subdued look of the debossed letters. However, when I see a Taco with vinyl lettering on a deboss I also think it looks good. I'm getting an Area51 Mav, so different boat.

For Alto I'm not sure what would work best. Orange would be neat. My designer gut says a lighter blue would look great, though. Here's a color scheme example:

I'm with you ..midnight blue seems just light enough to set off/compliment the darker Alto Blue. The silver looks pretty good too🧐, but will call it "platinum" for an air of elegance.hahaha
