After purchase painting...what did you paint and why?

[JAndreF321]

100% agree with this. Funny on import cars when people do these things they are "ricers" but when truck people do it, its suddenly cool? Doesnt make sense to me. BUT, its other peoples money they can do whatever they want with it.

Haha, I feel exactly this way and have no idea why. Didn't do anything too crazy to sports car but now that I have a truck I'm trying to contain my desire for 'merican flag vinyl, painting, etc. Wouldn't put stickers on an import because it's not classy, but yes on pickup. Also...already have chips on the front tow hooks and the bare spots are rusting...I5 just eating up the front end. I'll paint them blue when I find some paint. Color match G2 is $$$...so I'll look for some rattle can.

I plasti-dipped my silver interior trim pieces flat black and got center bezel from a platinum or limited. I bought all of trim pieces from ebay . I didn't want to screw up the original ones. So far the plasti-dipp has held up very well.

How do you like those Toyo R/Ts on the stock SVT wheels? I’m about to do the same. Are they 35 or 37?

So far so good. Had them transferred off a set of OEM non-beadlocks after a little over a year. Seem to go on fine and ride the same. Expecting to get another year out of them. 35x12.5’s. Thought about 37’s, but didn’t want to deal any potential fit issues.

Forget paint...... I coated mine (line x, Kevlar, rhino.....whatever you want to call it). Can’t park it in the garage and I don’t want to be precious with a truck!

Holy crap. That takes some balls. Bye bye resale value probably.

Looks good though.

I've always liked that. I'd love to pick up a off-road specific Raptor and use that product in some sort of a neon orange color. Along the lines of the molten lava. Or this;

Molten orange was an awesome color on these trucks! Once we make it in life I would like to pick up a molten orange super cab to add to the stable
