2001, explorer sport.
So i got some cracking body paint going on that I'm thinking its time for a touch up or color change. I was thinking of going back to original black but was thinking of flat black. Anyone have an all black Ex that can share pics to help me get an idea of how itll look? That be awesome help

Thanks in advance

black as in black trim all? or black pain on black trim? im if your sport is already black, i think gloss black would fit slightly better, unless its faded

I painted my Ex mineral gray a while ago. It was originaly black. I painted the grey trim texture bed liner paint. But since it has cracked and fallen off some areas im wanting a color change.

Just sayin'

I owned one gloss black car and for 7 years I never stopped washing it...

Never again will make that mistake - your mileage may vary.
 






when clean, black looks sick. but it shows every speck of dirt, and also shows swirl marks easily from washng 🤣 double edged sword
 






My friend has a black excursion, it shows every fingerprint. Black or white cars are the hardest to keep clean
 






Silver is where it's at.

Thats actually what i originally had in mind i already have the hood and plastic trim pieces bed lined. I was thinking of doing the whole thing but wanted to ask how itll look all black lol.
 






All black always looks great
 






This picture is of my black Limited right after I got it, it shows the flat/dead paint versus the gloss. Thus truck wasn't taken care of well, the hood was replaced and painted(it was red).

I would suggest making it all the same, a mixture looks bad.
