the truck in my signature is what it use to look like



stripped it down for paint



paints dun ready for chrome





all dun i was thinking of adding a flat red strip going all the way around on the upper body line. what do u think?

and yes its not the best job but what do u expect when u use spray paint bit its alot better then the dingy white

 

I always thought a black out with this body style would be sinister.
Are you gunna black the grille and trim and whatnot?

 

i was thinkin about the duplicolor smoke afex for chrome n doin all the chrome in that just got to get the cash.

 

I used semi gloss black on my billet grill, mirrors, both bumpers, and fender trim on my old 90 and thought it really set the truck off. I had plans to take the windshield trim off and do it as well but never got the chance. but I have to agree that a murdered out 87-91 would look badass as long as it had the right stance. Maybe a little bling with some exhaust tips and your beauty rings on the wheels would be enough to set it apart. What did you do for prep before the rattle can?

 

go to my albums and look at my red 95 f150 and what i did paint wise to that. prep was i took the head lights grill fender trim tail light bed liner toolbox tailgate the trim on the rims mirrors emblems 3rd brake light wiper arms and antena off then scuffed with some 220 masked the bumpers and windows then shot 6 coats of sherwin williams rust preventitive flat black paint. my mom is the store manager to one and they were discontinuing the series so she was supose to trash them tilll i came n got them

 

That's not "blacked-out"; it's just "black".

 

haha i know i aint finished yet this was the first stage im gettin the duplicolor smoke for the chrome and blackin the tail lights and 3rd breke light then gettin the blacked out covers for the head lights just havnt gotten around to getting the money yet

 

i made some pieces for the grill im re painting it n i got some red to do some red accents this weekend so either sunday or monday ill have some new pics to show it off

 

I think a red stripe along the body line would look good. Kinda like the nite edition

 

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

that was one of the things i was goin to do red

 

Get it done, I was actually gunna paint my grille this weekend as well. Just paint the inside back again and clean up the chrome.

 

just got to wait till saturday for 2 reasons i need news paper and its my daily driver so i need it for work tomarrow and friday but saturday it will be masked up and painted

 

well heres some pics of the grill befor i did anything






here is th mesh backin i made for the back of the grill its just formed mesh for reinforcing concrete





here is the grill repainted and the mesh painted






the red will be more noticable when its on the truck with the black radiator behind it

in the pics the mesh isnt attached to the grill thats y theres a gap at the end

and the hole is for the hood latch

 

Nice.
I'm gunna do mine sunday.
