I am going to be repainting all my black trim soon (rear window trim, bedrails, steps, etc.) since it's looking pretty crappy lately. I'm looking for suggestions on what I else I should paint since I'll be going at it anyway. Since I got the black wheels on, I feel like the truck needs more black to offset some of the red. Here's a pic. I'll try to get another pic in some sunlight with a better camera later today.

 

front and rear bumpers, emblems, mirrors

 

i was thinking about doing the bumpers and emblems. i don't know about the mirrors i actually like the PTM mirrors. if anything i would paint the black part of the mirrors to match the red actually.

 

for now just the badges. i think you bumpers might look best ptm and you mirrors need to stay ptm

 

maybe i should try painting the bumpers to match the red? looking at the pic i think it's the chrome throwin it off more than anything.

 

Need to do something about those headlights.

 

i'm not so sure i want to do anything just yet. i'm probably going to pick up a set of lighting heads or something like that so i'll worry about the lights at that time.

 

Here's a quick chop I did. PTM front and rear bumpers and badly done blackout badge.

 

haha nice. i actually kinda like that.

 

definitly ptm the bumpers

 

black Lightning heads, smoked fogs, smoked tails, PTM bumpers, '09 badges PTM with black insert, TINT!!

 

Before anything, tint the windows. That will add more darkness than anything and keeps the sun out.

 

can't tint the windows in NJ. only the rear window and it's just not worth it to me. not interested in getting tickets. they're bad around here about tint.

 

Boooo, I was going to say tint as well. If you had tint, the black in the mirror would go better.

PTM bumpers
Harley/Lightning HLs
Clear fogs
1-2 layers of Nite Shades to give the tails a dark cherry look. If you're not happy with that, you can go darker.
Black tips.

 

Me personally, I'd leave it and tint the windows if you are able (law in NJ is?). The fender badges blacked out and some smoked L heads too. PTM bumper to me is asking for trouble. All the rock chips plus road salt will turn it rusty in no time. I'd lose the bug deflector too. Nice truck though, I've got one similar but blue.

PS, I have the original Ford tube side steps in black if interested in buying them.
