Hi, Need some input on a paint job! For someone new.

[WhiteLimited]

So I am going to have my purl white explorer painting like a Harlie F-150, two tone. Leave the stock color on top and going with the 1970's Licn blue on the bottom half...

Here is the color I'm going to paint the bottom half of my explorer...

Here is my truck...

I know I'm getting my mirrors painted and the black pillars on my driver door and passenger door...All painted purl white looks so much more clean cut that way...

I just got the black chrome headlights put in a few nights ago...Like them? My tail lights are also tinted black and my third break light.

I have to get my driver window and my passenger window tinted to match all the back windows...

This is all a big project that I am having a lot of fun with, Its nice to have something to do since I can't work for a year(March 11th 2008). Due to a very bad crash I was in on March 11th 2007, In a coma for two months. I just need a place to talk and make some friend...

My old truck...

Thank you all who I end up talking to sorry I have very little short turm memory please bear with me...I can not even rember much of yesterday haha

Welcome to the forum...
I've always liked the look of two-toned explorers... and it sounds like your off to a good start, especially blackin everything out. Looks like another explorer owner is goin to fall victim to the mod-bug

Is the color of my room mates Vette nice?

 

[sparkyXplorer]

The vette color with your pearl white should look real nice!

Can I ask what happened regarding the wreck? Seems pretty nasty all ready and we haven't even heard the story...
Good to hear that you are still alive

 

[FROADER]

Wow, glad you woke up eh? You came to the right place!

There are a few people that have the black headlights, and seem to be happy with them. Search around the site for any question you may have, and I'll bet you'll find the answer.

Welcome to the site!

Your plans sound good.

Welcome to the forum. Nice looking Explorer. Man what kind of truck was that? F-150? What happened, that looks like a nasty wreck to bend the frame like that?

What I'm about to share with you use to be typed on my, MySpace. I wrote it a week after being out of the hospital so it is scrambled and badly spelled. My spelling since the crash is that of a 6th grader but is getting better...




...

heres what happened a month ago(3/11/07)


was driving my friend dan home... someone cut me off i served to the left so i would not drive in peoples houses my truck flipped i was tossed 30 yards from my truck, dan pushed under his seat my truck folded in half


the truck tossed me 30 yards from it...


truck totaled it was folded in half


I was ####ed up ! i shadered my elbow and ...two plats and 14 pins... broke my back shoulder blade and two ribs


hurt my head bad but thats getting better


i was in the hospital for a 2month


dan was helped out by people... then they covered me up to keep me warm the only reason were alive is for not having are belts on... the truck would have killed us...


the only reason i know any of this is my mom has the police report...


my memory(theropist) lade said dan and i wont remember any thing after hitting are head(from the crash)... she said its impossible... she said hitting your head makes your memory not work(wont store any thing from the crash)... she also said if we do have memories(of the crash) are brain made them up from what people told us...





...
I fixed one thing in there that made no since at all, but thats what happened to me I hate dodges and hate driving them...

It was a 2002 Dodge Dakota Sport...Was...Details of the crash i just posted a few mins ago...

 

[Turdle]

Hmm--I kinda like the paint scheme--
I wonder what it would look like with charcoal , or , black wheels.

 

[Millertime1987]

Wow man that crash sounds bad. Totally glad you and your friend made it out alive. Good luck with the paint job and tinting. Always fun to watch another explorer get moded.

Hey I hope you don't mind I played with your photo you did for me...

Thats the way I want the color to curve down my bender flair...Like it???

 

[FROADER]

It's your photo not mine.

That looks pretty good. I'd follow the curve of the fender more, but I get you're idea.
