cool. looks nice.
Im going to do that to my interior but my truck is a custom green so im going to get my painter to do it.
Did you buy the paint in a spray can at an auto shop? Thats what my cousin did and it looks pertty nice.

 

lol yeah. i bought it for a scoop i got on the way, but its such a good match i felt like i had to paint something
i was gonna clearcoat it, but it turned out pretty good without it. it looks better than in the pics. jus hope it holds up ok...

nice truck btw

 

Smok][n, we have the same head unit

Hey nice rims Smok][n. Are they 20in? I see you got your truck in your sig.

I need a new pic for my sig cause I just realized I forgot to put the front ventshades on my truck, But I have the back ones on...lol

 

no they are actually 18" oe 2001 lightning rims. I got them here on the classifieds for $780 shipped. not bad considering they came with the goodyear f1's with a good amount of life left.(1000 jus to replace those tires )
i might put 285/60's when it comes time to replce them because they are cheaper and would prolly look better since i prolly wont lower my truck

 

I've started painting my interior, it's coming along NICELY... next step is to find some red vinyl and do some covering Oh and I just finished painting up the door handles, I'm letting them dry right now. Is there any way I can protect them? Since they're going to be touched and grabbed alot the paint will wear off alot sooner then I'd like won't it?

 

And would it be possible to get a better picture of your radio bezel? I am pondering the thought of painting mine and would love to see some pics of one that has been painted.

 

here are some slightly better pics...





sorry my digital cam is sorta low quality

and yes the paint will prolly wear more quickly on the door handles. i fear that even my paint job will wear eventually.
u can protect them with a clearcoat. i have tried the duplicolor clearcoats from autozone. the enamel remains kind of tacky even after drying. i also bought some clearcoat laquer there as well. It definitely gets harder upon drying. im going to paint my hood scoop when it comes in this week. hopefully the laquer will be tuff enuff to keep it looking good.

 

Thanks for the pics man, I am going to do something similar to that with mine only with a slight mod, I'll get the pics up as soon as I finish, but with me starting a new job tomorrow it might be the weekend before the project gets underway. I got the door handles done and back on though and pics are on their way

 

kewl pix are good

oh, u prolly already know this but make sure to get the finish off enuff b4 u paint them, or the paint will not stick. i used a scotchbrite pad and some acetone. actually i noticed after using the acetone, that at least some of those pieces were painted or dyed in the 1st place. i thought they may have been manufactured that color, but underneath they are the same black plastic as elsewhere on our trucks. jus a little
