So my little lady friend has an 03 f250 with a fabtech 6inch lift on 35's, well she asked me about her and I putting pink shocks on her truck. Well at first I thought easy, just get pink boots, but she wants the WHOLE shock pink. Does anyone know any place that has pink shocks? I told her the possibility of painting the shock, but she is worried about it looking cheap. Any tips on how to make the shock look nice if we paint them??

 

If you can get a shock that can be disassembled maybe powder coating is an option...(not sure how elctrostatic applications would fair with a nitrogen filled shock)

 

I wouldnt recomend powder coating them because you have to heat them up to 250 to 300 degrees to get the powder to bond. I could see the shocks exploding in the oven when the Nitrogen expands due to the heat but I may be wrong.

 

Spray paint and pink boots are going to be your best bet.

 

i gotta find me a lady friend that drive jacked up f250s

 

yeah same here

 

Yes, yes you do! She is amazingly hot in that thing... All of about 5'1 and 105lbs blonde hair blue eyes

 

Mine drives a crew cab dually, does that mean I win?

 

I saw a "how it's made" episode of shocks at the bilstein plant where they painted them yellow (might have been monroe) and IIRC they were painted after assembly an they mentioned a static paint application process (sounded like powdercoating). Maybe try to look for the episode and learn more. Or the easy way out, rattle can.

 

Yup! that's what I figured ~ that's why I was thinking about a shock that can be disassembled and then after the powder coat be re-assembled and charged..

 

 

Pinks shocks on a Super Duty is just wrong.

 

Makes me think of Taylor Swift's truck, that I have seen a few times around Nashville...

 

 

Typical Chevy/GMC!

I guess it's alright...I mean, I remember when day-glo pink was the fashion for swim trunks in the early 90's :o
