Blued out my headlights today

Instead of blackening the heads, I decided to do the ol' ptm, and went with the dark blue.
I love this look. Thanks to gcart for all your help
Tell me what you think.


Before


After




I think my son had a better time with this than I did, LOL!

Looks good, I started to do my white to match my truck, but stayed with the black. If I ever get board I might do them again.

Thanks!
When I bought the truck it had a grille insert that i took off, and lo and behold the emblem was gone. The stealership was supposed to order one for me weeks ago....needless to say they never did. I'm on the lookout for one

Now if you could only get one from patriot decals... You could always get one from there just can't have anything about ford in it. but if you want to customize it to your liking then I would go that route, they do a really good job both with customer service and their products.

LOL! I was getting some real strange looks when I brought the heads inside and started to pre-heat the oven....then the inevitable questions...."What the heck are you doing? Why are you painting the headlights?" Blah blah blah

I'm pretty sure that they came to an agreement with that and are now making them again.

I remember when my Dad was getting ready to give me his truck and I was like " Hey it needs a trany flush by 75k, and needs new paint since its all faded, and hey dad the speakers are blown needs new speakers" True story.
