Got distracted today by a possible leaking transfer case, but I will be sure to take the time tomorrow to get some pics for the before and after off of one of my vehicles.

The only vehicle with faded trim at my house was the Bronco. So I found the side out in the light and just did a little spot. You should be able to tell what spot I used the Black Max trim dressing on. I only took 10 seconds to do this; if you take more time the better it will look.

If you use this stuff everytime you wash your truck it keeps the shine.


Sorry it took me so long to get pics up.

Well I made my decision and I painted my trim and my grille..all were a little faded.. it has some mud on it from a trip but you can still see it.

 

[NHarris]

Looks good. Did you take the trim off or paint it on the truck?

Thanks Nate!
I painted it on the truck. I masked off everything so that there was no over spray. It took longer masking off the entire vehicle than it did to paint it. haha. Good way to spend the day off, right?

Exactly. I like that black color a lot. What paint did you use?

I used the trim paint from autozone. It's the rust-oleum gloss black for trim. Was 5$ a can and got a clear coat spray, too. I also tinted my tail lights with the rust-oleum translucent pain then used clear coat on it. It looks good and looks like it's really gonna hold up. It looks a lot better than the faded gray trim that was there

Alright. If I had any trim to paint I might have done that... lol : Did you paint the B and D pillars? They dont look the same color as usual.

The paint works really good, I recommend it. When you apply it it doesn't get uneven or bubbly as easily as some paints do and coats pretty good in just one coat..like I did in my pics.They were extremely faded so I wet sanded them a little and now that's how they look. I plan to paint them as well. I may also get to the roof rack as well.. I wanna make it look good!

I will! And any other mods I do to it. By any chance do you know what the max tire size for an 02 is with stock rims? I saw a lot of different answers on the site. 265/75/16 was the largest without rubbing?

 

[NHarris]

Yep thats the largest size with no rubbing.

The place I went to in my small town told me a smaller size was the largest and now I find this out.. well..better burn some rubber off :
