thanks for the compliments. idk about patman grille, i like my emblem.

Looks real good man

 

Looks good man!!

 

Joh408 & five0merc - Thanks for the compliments guys! It turned out alot better than i expected.

1998f150wes - The raptor liner is 110$ for 4 liters and a spray gun. and its comes out alot smoother than herculiner. If thats the texture u wanted. I perfer the smoother spray on to the rougher paint on. but my buddy done his herculiner by dabbing a paint brush on to his truck not painting it on. might be why its so much rougher.

What yall guys reckon i should do next??

 

Hitting that tool box with some of that bedliner maybe? Undercoating perhaps? Remove the dealer sticker from your tailgate, remove door molding (if you feel like it, some like it on some don't) PTM your tailgate handle, paint the bed caps and rear window trim are some cheap ones that clean up the appearance pretty good.

 

Undercoating= pointless with a mile of dirt road i live on which is drove one about 5-20 times a day.
And im actually lookin for a black tool box.
I like door molding it breaks things up. And if i paint my tailgate handle, bedcaps, rear window trim. itll all be black. not PTM.
Also im trying to figure out how to paint my grille black. (i dont wanna sand all those lil honeycombs by hand....)

 

Haha true on the undercoating.
Guys on here and ffs have painted this toolbox with rustoleum bedliner.
Door molding was just a suggestion.
I like the way a PTM tailgate handle looks but that's just my opinion.
And ya the bed caps and window trim black for sure.
Just sand your grill real quick with light sandpaper by hand, didn't take me too long and then spray some adhesion promoter and krylon fusion. Let it cure and it shouldn't chip. You could even do a clear coat to protect it even more

 

Or you can use some green scotch bright to rough it up. That is what I did before I painted mine.

 

Wellllll its been awhile guys....
Ive been having alll kinda of money trouble lately. kinda hard to do mods with out money..
Buty were back in business now.
the next few mods i have in mind are...
paint my grille black.
get black L heads
uncoating bedliner on the tool box.
MAYBE a expy console, jus have to deside where put my CB and stuff... ill get a pics of the area where itd go up soon.

AND im debateing on a 4x4 conversion... I know where a 4wd 98 model is without a motor and has everything else that i could prollly get the front end and all from under it. But idk iof itd be better to do that or get a straight front axle... Need advice on this.. not very educated in this area...

Thanks guys..




EDIT- if someone could photo edit my door molding black? i wonder how that would look...

 

Well tomorrow i plan on painting my grille, and my door handles black.
And soon as i get me a new job ill get those long awaited black L heads.
But idk what kinds of paint to use on these areas that will hold up... any suggestions?

 

got some stuff painted up yesterday nothing big n fancy but i like it.

Put bedliner on the tips.


stock grille.


painted grille black



Stock head console? i reckon that what their called.


Painted..


Some pisc of the inside painted dash n stuff.



Let me know what yall thank guys.

 

Looks good man, hows that bed liner hold up to the heat of the exhaust tips though?

 

heck idk yet man the first time i painted em i used grill paint then the second time i used engine and manifold paint and mudd would stain em brown... but the mud didnt stain my bumper or rockers.. so i figured i give it a go on the tips.. but ill be sure to letcha know how it holds up.
Any ideas for the next mods?
I tryin to get some black L heads...

 

Black l heads would look good I loved mine until I went offroading and popped a corner light out and shattered it. Your truck is like my trucks little brother haha.
