2000 Ford Explorer Custom Paint with Lots of Pictures

Just wanted to share my new paint job with everyone here. Lots of pictures. I hope to get rims for it in a month or two. Take a look and post comments. I painted it black in a garage but it was red.

Looks amazing to me. I love the silver and blue. The rims add a nice touch to it as well.

I had 22s on my 95 before, I loved it and then after I lowered it, I loved it EVEN MORE!

P.S. If you dont mind me asking, how much did that paintjob run ya? And where did you get it done at?(noticed that you r from midwest) I would love to get my explorer painted black.

I got the paint job done at Midwest Customs in MiddleTown,OH. They are very professional at what they do and went above and beyond what we talked about. They don't put out crap. They gave me a free tailgate and bumber because they were rusted beyond repair. It took about a month to get it from when I dropped it off and the paint job was $6,900.

 

[JarvisB]

Great to hear that they do good work and dont do any bs.

6,900 is steep for me but your paint got a lot of custom work so that price might sound reasonable.

 

[Maverick265]

I was going to get everything painted just black that was $4,000.

 

[JarvisB]

not bad, what kind of black?

 

[Maverick265]

Just a jet black.

$6900 is alot of dough but it looks like they did a phenomenal job-custom paint jobs are really pricey out here. Replacement tailgate and bumper make it even better. They are getting some nice PR too from the site.

 

[elcapitanmas]

yep, incredible job on the paint, love the skulls. Drop it (not much) new headlights, tail lights (DON'T DO THE GAY EUROS!) and that will be a stand out truck.........even though it is allready.

Nice job.
theres nothing wrong with paying the right price for the right job as proven with the paint on this truck.

Very true!

 

[Maverick265]

Yea I thought the tail lights looked better in the picture. WheN I got them I was disapointed. I want to get some HIDs. Im going to be getting the seats all reupholsterd soon. Thanks for all the comments!

Getting ready to replace the carpet with a darker gray to match the the paint and reupholstering the seats in two tone leather.

 

[99MercMount]

looks awesome, the skulls give it nice depth

UPDATE:

lol, just kidding, even looks terrible, oh well, good idea

 

[Maverick265]

The Explorer should be heading to the shop soon. Installed monitors in each door pannel and getting them custom painted. Pictures in a few weeks.

Very nice job. I really like the it. Planning on doing something with my 1996 X this summer, just havent decided yet.
How do you guys think the stock green color on top half with black on bottom half?

stock paint on the top? hell no. lol

if you are shelling out for paint on the bottom then you might as well get the whole vehicle painted!!

 

[1996X]

Im trying to find something I like and CHEAP. What do you think would look good and be cheap.
