I lightly scuffed the emblems and a flash card, washed them with dawn, then a 50/50 water n alcohol mix. After drying I hung the emblems and applied 3 coats of plastic adhesion waiting 30min or more between coats. I'm new to this so I may have put it on too thick on the smaller emblems. It comes...

Sent a box of stuff to 410fortune shop. Should arrive today. Contents are one driver side door molding, to plastic pieces that were missing on the seats, and a pair of k source power mirrors with paintable covers. Also, ordered weivision bdv01 HD 360° birdview camera DVR and a pumpkin 7" car...

Its here!!! Its here!!! Now I just need to order a case of courage and a packet of determination. Lol. If anything jumps out at ya let me know, I can arrange them and snap a pic. I'll be attempting arts n crafts this weekend.

The motivation for emblem arts n crafts is, the emblems are the only chrome on the truck. Everything else is blue or black. I'm not an artist by a long shot, the only thing I know how to do is color match. Lol. So if any artist think I should break up the blue and black I'm open for suggestions

@gmanpaint Yes single stage is urethane. I saw the Eastwood when I was browsing but went with this instead. It should be here by the 27th. Stay tuned.......Lol

The vista blue is a single stage so my understanding is it doesnt require a clear coat. I didnt order any clear but I might. I believe I'm working with acrylic enamels, but yes I'm concerned about melting plastic and using the wrong kinds of paint. Live and learn I guess... Heres my plan. Scuff...

I want to paint some emblems. I believe they are chromed plastic. I have the grey ultrafine scotch pads to scuff. Bulldog plastic adhesion promoter, rustoleum matte black, and 2 cans of single stage vista blue thats hasn't arrived yet. I think you can see where I'm going with this but just...

I'm not doing anything too crazy. I bet you can help. I'll post the details this evening and you can decide if it's in your area of expertise.

@gmanpaint Thank you. Can I assume from your handle that you are a painter? If so I have a couple questions.

I've order my arts n craft supplies and I have a box full of emblems. I'm gonna put some together and post pics incase anyone want to share any thoughts

@fastpakr We had considered OBXs but for $100 more you can get the real deal TM headers. Every thread I've read on TM headers is full of very satisfied customers. OBXs on the other hand, I've read people were not so happy. I know time is a factor. Good luck.

@CDW6212R I want all that!!, but I have a limited budget. The goal this year is to get as much of the mods, suspension, gearing along with the V8 conversion. After I've had a chance to try everything out I may upgrade the engine like you described.

@fastpakr I believe torque monster headers were ordered around the beginning of July. So about a month.

Derp... My fault!. At this pace I'll never get a wrench. Lol. Sorry. I read water pump but my mind went thermostat.

My regular mechanic changed the thermostat the previous year then about 6-8 months I noticed it was low on water so I filled it back up. Then I started smelling antifreeze. I had the dealership diagnos the leak. It was the housing, just like the guys on the ranger forums predicted. I figure it...

I do... but I dont know how to rotate the image and it wont let me edit away the duplicate image. Lol

I had the dealer instal mine this year because they said they have the new improved version and it came with a 2year warranty.

Lol. So does your avitar. Cant figure out how to make mine...

Grinning ear to ear!
