Well the title pretty much explains it. I just got my 18' lead foot SCREW raptor three days ago and I was walking around it today and noticed a new ding. I have only drove it two places so I am pretty sick about it. Can anyone tell me if the bump would be enough to kick on the back camera and possibly see what happened? The alarm didn't go off as far as I know. Any tips on trying to touch it up? Its not the leadfoot color its in the darker part of the Ford writing.

dateposted-public

Flickr is one of the best...but you have to know how to do it.

  1. Find your picture on your flikr feed
  2. hit the embed arrow
  3. copy all the text from the embed function to a note pad.
  4. hit the picture embed from with in a forum post at the top of the window when posting (between smiley and movie strip)
  5. copy from your note pad the url "https://...........jpg" (no quotations)
  6. discard everything else that was on the note pad.
  7. your picture should post

Get some of those fancy red/white/blue stickers people cover the letters with? Or maybe a color that is close to what you want. Take the tailgate off and tape off the paint and hit the applique with flat black.

how about the handle of a shopping cart?

I guess its possible as one of the two places I stopped at was a grocery store. The other was a restaurant. Seems pretty high up to be a shopping cart. Any official touch up paint for the applique? I really wouldn't want to take the tail gate off and paint the whole thing.

Exactly why I've been getting a ton of exercise in since I bought mine...I park as far away from all the Yahoo's,Beaters,and A-Holes who dont respect other....Walking is good for you...! When I had my business I always had a new vehicle,only one driving it,never hit squat!! Yet,everytime I traded in or sold,every corner of the bumpers was scratched/or dinged and doors had dings also.......most people unless driving an expensive vehicle got give a S!@( about others...Pretty sad if you ask me...

I’m sorry that happened to your Raptor. For sure people are telling you “is very small you can’t even see it” but you can and that’s going to bother you for a long time. If I was you, I would try @RAPPYgraphics they do some very nice decals for our trucks. eBay has some good selections too for a bit less money.
