Talking to a guy and said that the damn powder coat isn't a high temp product and they don't come in powder coat haha

 

? Is he saying they wont powder coat them? You can also try ceramic, but its more expensive. Heres what my local guy said.

 

Finally found a guy that will do them.

 

Work in progress. I have only had the vehicle for 2 days!

So far..

HD heads and tails. (Third break light on order).
Chrome front turn signals.
Dark FX4 Decals (need to be installed).

 

That's a good looking NBS I usually don't like the new trucks but that is sexy

 

Great looking truck

 

Love the black'd out look I got some new XD's on my '07, but my poor husband ordered/installed the wrong ones They have a lot more aluminum on them than I wanted. Oh well, guess I'll buy new ones next year! haha

 

Wow; nice trucks everyone! I've been tossing around the idea of blacking mine out, but it's a bit older, so I'm not sure how feasible that idea is; I was thinking of doing a black & red color scheme (mostly black with bits of red) so as to match my cheapo seat cover I bought at Shuck's a while back. I actually like everything about the seat cover, except for the fact that it doesn't fit very well, which made me start thinking of eventually re-upholstering the seat itself in the same style as the cover; but I digress. Any tips, advice, etc. on where to find blackout-style accessories (or how to make some myself) for a 1990 F150 XLT Lariat 4x4? The truck is in my sig if you're curious what it looks like now. My original plan was to simply paint it black, maybe re-tint the windows (the current tint job is rather old, and seems to be flaking off a tiny bit at a time), get some nice black rims, and maybe some black emblems. I'm not sure if black bumpers and mirrors are a possibility with this generation of truck, but if so, I was thinking of swapping those out also. Thanks for any advice given!

 

^^^ Cant see you sig. You need to check the Show signature box when posting.

 

OK, it's working now, but it's smaller than the image I uploaded; I guess I have to follow the max dimensions exactly (the height was within limits but the width was exceeded). At least it's visible, though. Thanks!

 

If I remove the FX4 decal, what are some color and graphic options for my truck?

 

Hey mayo7 I see your front emblem is blacked out! Where did you get the decals/overlays to do that? I gotta do something about these blue ones on my black truck.

 

Got rid of the 22's back to some 18'' addicts.

 

Ok, I made a better sig to give a better idea of what my truck looks like; I'll link it to the larger version of the image later so everyone can see it in better detail. I just wish I knew how to insert a larger image into my signature, but I assume it's a user status thing. At any rate, I haven't seen very many F-150s of my generation blacked out (at least, not to the point that many of the trucks in this thread are). Usually, it's black paint, and then the wheels, bumpers, etc. are chrome. While I like the look, I also like to stand out and be different sometimes, and I think a blacked-out look would look pretty nice on this generation of truck. However, as I stated above, I haven't seen many at all, which leads me to wonder if any kits/accessories are available for my generation, or would I have to customize everything myself? It seems that at least a few people have taken the middle path, dabbling in both areas, so I suppose that the latter isn't that difficult (nor expensive), and can perhaps be a bit creative, even. Either way, it sounds like fun. Maybe I'll start sketching out my ideas in order to obtain a better visual representation. That also sounds like fun.

EDIT: Ok, I've linked the signature image to the larger version. Enjoy!

 

ROK,
I purchased the decals from patriotdecals.com.
