Let me know what you find out please. I had mine ceramic coated as well; not sure if anything will stick on it, but don't want to remvove it. I wanted to get the coated done right away before long trips and bug guts. Had the ceramic added after the paint protective film.
Greg,
Finally got the chance to talk with the detailed regarding the effect of the ceramic coating and the stick-on letters. He replied that because the coating provides such a hard and super smooth surface, it ā€˜couldā€™ have a small adverse effect on the adherence of the letters but it ā€˜shouldā€™ be ok. The only alternative if your coating was professionally applied, would be to sand it off first. I wonā€™t be doing that. I will be applying over the coating. Just be sure to use the alcohol swabs to make sure the surface is clean. I will post pics when finished (whenever that happens).

You might have to get a specialty plate - like Florida Salutes Veterans, or Support our Troops. That green and orange FL plate clashes with those awesome red, white and blue letters. I couldnā€™t wait another week or so for the flag letters (altho I wish I did), so I ā€œsettledā€ for the red/black carbon. Looks great on my white truck, and fortunately Montana has a blue plate.

Finally got the chance to install my flag motif letters over the ā€˜ceramicā€™ coating on my magnetic tailgate. So far, they seem to stick ok. I did have some trouble with the skinny narrow Middle fingers of the letters ā€˜Gā€™ and ā€˜Eā€™. They didnā€™t want to stay laying flat. I ended up applying a single drop of super glue to each strip and it seems to working good.

as soon as I learn how to upload and post pictures to the site, I will post a pic.

Put them on this weekend, Iā€™m happy with how it came out and matches the Sport trim well.

Looks like a pretty close match. It looks really good with the blue!
