Only if you want the tailgate to stick out like a sore thumb. If you patch the holes and do body work the whole tailgate will have to be repainted...it's impossible to repair and paint just a small area with the clearcoat paints...then you risk the paint not being quite the match of the rest of the truck. I agree with the others put the emblem back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paoutdoorsman Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yep, put a badge back on. And get rid of that used car lot decal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigaudiofanatic Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I would get it welded in and let a body shop take care of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F150 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Just bought my new emblem! Gonna stick it back on there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I have a '98 F150 4x4 and have the same emblem... I never removed it for this reason... lol At least you didn't mess anything up... I do have to say that a Flex or PC could be used on that tailgate though... lol OK, my truck isn't corrected either... Actually... It's sitting dirty in the garage right now. I don't bother correcting the paint when I use it for its intended purpose. Hauling stuff and pulling stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F150 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Haha, I use the truck as my daily driver, but it's my first truck and i love the thing. I just received my pads APC and Severe Swirl Remover in the mail today, so i'll be quite busy correcting the paint in the next two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
