i have been lookin at the trucks on here that have blacked out some stuff
and they look gr8 so i have been doin some to mine

exhaust


steps


today i did the FORD F150 on the fender



the tape is still on.... so tonight i'll post some pics of it finished

 

looks good so far!

You might want to paint the fender flares too...maybe use some bedliner coating?

 

yeah the fender flares will be done when i do the wheels
im thinkin i have started a summer long project LOL

finished pic for now ... till the red inlays get here

 

The emblem idea is pretty awesome ! Overall i think the truck looks good. what size rims and tires ???

 

Now the sticker sticks out. get a flat black replacement from patriot

 

Why?

 

what did you use to paint your emblems with? I deffinitly wouldnt mind doing that to mine.

 

cause i think black looks best on red

thx yall

Steve O.... its the stock 18's w/ 35's

jlstang351.... thats what i'm gonna do ..just thinkin about the outline color

Sundevil2188..... i used the dupli-color 1200 deg w/ ceramic in flat black.. i had some left over from the exhaust and steps
all i did was wet sanded it w/ some 600 grit then wiped down w/ some carb medic

 

i did the tailgate one yesterday

 

look great im going to paint my exhaust too! And now im gonna do the Emblems. I have to paint my bumpers, and grill.

 

Looks great. I really like the emblems all black without the red lettering. How do they look in person? Do they look good or do they look unfinished?

The only thing that is holding me back after seeing your truck is the Ford emblem on the tailgate. It almost sticks out like a sore thumb now - or does it look better in person?

 

I like how the exhaust looks

 

you oughta do chrome emblem inlays. do like the 97-03s looked like

 

i think they look gr8 ... im thinkin of doin the red F150 inlays
and i'm gonna paint the Ford emblems front and back the same flat black
and do the flat black w/ ford in red overlays ..... if i dont like how the red inlays look i'll just leave them all black ... and do something different w/ the Ford emblems

i cant wait to get to the rims and flares

thx for the comments

 

Are you taking the plastic cover off the emblem and then painting them so there is some depth? Like what people do when the acetone them - that might look really good now that I think about it.

Although I guess simply painting over the black plastic would leave you with a plain black oval with no "Ford".
