Painted BakFlip?
Has anyone painted a BakFlip tonneau cover (the aluminum style) to match the adobe color on a KR? I've seen pictures of KR's with the standard black ones and they don't look bad, but was considering getting a BakFlip and curious if anyone has painted to match. I think it would look really sharp if painted, but not sure it's worth it. Their website says you can paint the aluminum ones, but they only offer them in black from the factory.

It was in Chestnut with the Arizona beige accents (Very similar to Adobe), and I painted the hard tonneau to match.
It looked really classy and I had lots of compliments and a lot of customers of the dealership that I bought from had similar paint treatment.
I think you would be very pleased if you did that too !
PS You don't say what the main body colour is..that might affect the overall effect !

And a Happy Christmas to you and yours !
In fact I didn't order that first one, but I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
I had got fed up with the fact that all 4 windows on my Lincoln Town car packed up within a 2 week period....unbelievable but true leading me to believe in the stories of inbuilt obsolescence.
I had never imagined owning a truck so had gone into Tipton Ford in Brownsville to look at an Explorer.
The sales manager happened to ask if I would like to look at something that they had only had delivered that day..the first KR that THEY had ever seen.
As you know I was blown away with the interior so was hooked there and then.
I took a bit of a hit on the Town Car which I imagined went straight down Mexico way !
But I so so pleased to be a true Truck owner I wasn't too bothered.
As they say..."I wasn't born in Texas (or even on the continent) but got there as soon as I could!!"

Thanks !
Just added pics in new thread....
Be interesting to see some of the original forum members posting pictures of their first KR's but it's so long since we heard anything from the likes of Skagel and Daveman who once bravely made the trip all the way down from northern climes to both visit the King Ranch and then kindly trekked all the way on down to the Rio Grande to visit me, bringing an embossed KR tankard which I still proudly display here in Wales.
