2010 Raptor in Colorado, new to this message board

[Sean Garner]

Greetings everyone,

I've been a Raptor owner for a few years now, I'm a member of several forums, but this is surprisingly my first Raptor forum. I have a beautiful 2010 Molten Orange 6.2.

Im not a mechanic by any means but I do my best to do repairs and projects myself.

I'm going to be starting on some touch up projects on the truck and I have several questions on touching up the paint, getting dents out, how to fix my drivers side door handle because its protruding out (because someone pried it trying to break in) etc etc. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it! Thanks and I'm glad to be a part of a Raptor community

Hey Hey man!!!
Love the color for starters!!!
As far as your body work ect its all kind of hit or miss from what Ive seen.

Abra Auto I have has some luck with if your looking to have some1 do the work but they are kinda pricey!!!

For pointers maybe some1 on the forum can help out with some info...

Hey man! appreciate the response and thanks about the color! Was definitely my first choice.

I dont think I'm looking to have a shop do it quite yet. I wanted a little project to do, but I'm not super familiar with painting. And unfortunately the toughest spots where the paint is peeling is on the sides of the fenders.

The dents are really small so I'm looking at dent pullers on amazon.

Does anyone have suggestions on a good paint brand for this particular color?

I'm in Aurora. 225 and Parker Road.

I noticed there are some new members from CO.
We have quite a few Raptors on the road here so I'd be interested to see where we rank in sales.

Welcome from a co-2010 molten orange owner also in Colorado! 2010 6.2's where the best year Ford made with the fewest recalls and problems from what I've seen. I'll have mine for ten years come October and love it to death.

Damn. That is one beautiful truck! Do you find any/much light loss by having the light bars behind the grill?
