Honestly, I was much more interested in the Rapid Red until I found out about the blue interior. I'm not sold on the Code Orange (if it was metallic, then yes). Next up in my priority list is Antimatter. Props to the Auto Shop guy with his paint squares.

Hopefully it's easier to keep clean in Vegas than black, which is nigh impossible.
i have seen it in person on a escape. In sunlight looks great. overcast looks black so might be a pita with dust. doesnt bother me . I will ceramic coat mine within a day of getting it. easier to keep clean.

Something interesting I just noticed is that the only 37" tire builds that have a VIN didn't have any bed liner or bed cover

Any ballpark estimate on what it runs to ceramic coat a Raptor? I've been looking into this a bit myself.

I got the following estimates thus far.

5-year Ceramic Coating (Ext & Int) - $1800
7-year Ceramic Coating (Ext & Int) - $2000

Also got a quote to XPEL the Front End (Hood, Front Painted Surfaces, Mirror Caps, and front fenders) - $2000

I'm leaning towards the XPEL. The ceramic doesn't really protect. It makes it easier to clean and keep clean. I want something that's going to protect the paint from scratches and rock chips etc...

I don't think the spray-in changes the build date. I am Aug 2nd with the spray-in. It will affect the delivery date. I believe ford sends the trucks out to be sprayed.

On the ceramic coat - look around I pay $1200 cash. I have had four vehicles done at that place, but iam in TN also prices are more other places in the country. Not sure the increased price gets you a different product? Gets them more money maybe is all. I do that and an Expel partial kit/ mini kit. It does the mirror caps, handles, door edges and front end for rock chips for $1600/1800 all at once with tint first thing when it’s new.
