New Twist For Nite Shades

Well I was bored the other day waiting for my Union rep to call me back(Sucks being laid off), and I wanted to do something to my truck. I didn't want to spend any money and I found my leftover can of Nite Shades from my taillights. I sprayed the amber reflectors on my coner lights and thought the black looked out of place, so I found some dark metallic silver paint I had from an older project. I just sprayed a light coat over the Nite Shades and I think it turned out pretty cool. It will at least hold me over until I get back to work and can buy all clear Lightning lights. It matches the Flairs and Bumper trim pretty close, and still shines reflectes amber.

Thanks for the comments guys, I think it gives the truck a cleaner look.
Not bad for a half an hour and some leftover paint.

BTW Anyone know what color my trim is exactly(what Ford or Patriot Decals would call it)? Dark Slate Gray is that the DSG I see posted sometimes?????

I would like to get the Patriot emblem overlays and was going to get white but I think that dark grey might look better and be subtle.
I also wan't the FX4 emblems to be the same dark gray and black.
I think that will clean it up more (I want the truck to have no "color" to it(White, Black and Grey only). What do you think?

DSG is Dark Shadow Grey.

Not sure what exactly the trim color is called if its unpainted plastic, if its painted plastic its probably going to be the DSG mentioned above

I was asking about the fender flares and upper valance on the bumper and Im sure its painted, so I'll assume it is Dark Shadow Grey.

Thanks Man

Nice truck BTW, clean and not overdone.
