What color is your truck? They make the LT's in Dark Toreador Red an 04-06 color and Redfire an 07-08 color. They are not available in Bright Red 04-08.
Check with Tasca Ford, they have a page on their site that has the LT handles grouped together in kits, they even have the paint codes listed in parenthesis so you can make sure you get the right ones. Your paint code is on the sticker on the drivers door.

BTW vermillion red is not a listed color on the 04-up F-150's, it is available on mustangs and the paint code is the same as bright red. Ford tends to use the same paint on different car/truck lines and give them different names on different vehicles.

Just saw your other thread about the front bumper, since you have an 07 Lariat, your truck is probably Redfire, paint code G2. Check the sticker on the door and match it with the different codes on the link I provided.

E4 is the base color and the G3 is the Pueblo gold lower two tone. I'm guessing that E4 is bright Red, since it's not listed as available colors for the LT handles.

Then you have bright red. Why don't you try the P.T.M. FX2/Harley handles, you could paint the buckets bright red and paint the straps pueblo gold.

Oh, ok, then just get the cheapest color LT handles avilable, dismantle them and have the bucket portion painted bright red, reassemble the handles and install them. You now have bright red LT's

I've done a lot of painting for folks in other sites and I use Dupont paints, just don't like the spray can stuff. If you need anything done let me know.


Here is a link to some of my work:
