Just got her last week.. 39k miles manual trans I love her... This week painted cab lights mirror lights and 3rd brake with VHT Night Shades, Painted stock tip black with VHT Engine primer, did DPF delete and Spartan tune. Next week should be doing EGR and AFE intake then shortly doing a South Bend DD then working on replacing the god awful XL bumper grille and lights!
Got Bored on a rainy day today so decided to give my painting skills a workout hahahhah... Duplicolor Ford Shadow Gray vent and Black outer.... cant really tell the vent is diffrent oh well..
Beautiful truck. I have the exact same color but just a lariat. Did you take the side emblems off or leave them on when you painted them? I'm looking to eventually get a fx4 grill to replace my chrome one.
I popped em off sanded with a 320 brick to scuff up chrome and sprayed 3 coats duplicolor adhesion promoted than 3 coats of paint turned out all right prolly gona take a part and re do vent portion can still see a tint of the original red...
for the top piece just centerd my fingers 1/3 and 2/3 lifted up felt flimsy but popped out pretty easily with no dmg then the bottom outer and vent just peeld from the top to bottom from the bed side of vent and they popped out easy.. then theres a little lock washer type thing holding the vent to the frame just used a small pick to wiggle them off took like 10 mins to take apart about an hour of scuffing the chrome then intervals for the paint it was simple could do it in about 2 hours
