Its that time. Im getting some paint.

[Burns]

Here you go. Best pic i can get till it goes outside. THe light and dark spots hid really good. Glad i did this.

 

[IZwack]

Wow thats looking good there!

 

[Burns]

Its really nice. Im really happy with all the work that has gone on here.

Still more work to go. Got to wet buff the entire truck after it cures good.

 

[FROADER]

That's great it evened out with the clear. Can't wait to see it in the sunlight.

 

[Burns]

Here we go. Got a few pic. Not much for now. Here is a close up of the rear.

Here is another rear shot. I have already had someone ask if it was the EF logo..ha ha

Things to finish:
1. Wet Sand Truck Again.
2. Buff the entire truck
3. Finish rear hatch and clear coat the hatch
4. Wheel the dang thing

It looks great!!

Are the hatch pillars going to be green? I think they should-

I want to paint mine to match as well. They are fading bad. I saw a second Gen a couple of weeks ago where they had done this & it looked nice.

 

[Burns]

I was going to make the pillars black again

 

[FROADER]

You knew this was coming...

 

[Burns]

Man you suck. Now they need to be green......

 

[FROADER]

I actually like the black better, but I think it looks good either way.

 

[Burns]

Im gonna have to decide which will be easier to fix after a scratch. Ultra flat black comes in a spary can but i got 1/2gallon of green left

 

[FROADER]

Indeed it does. :

I'm sure you could also get the green put into some aerosol cans.

 

[Stic-o]

X2! I hate when people paint that part the same color as the body:thumbdwn:

 

[Burns]

I may use truck bed liner

 

[1996explorerxlt]

Pillars black! Truck looks great! Get that thang duuuurty!

 

[Turdle]

I think the green pillars look better since the center pillars are green-It makes the job appear "finished", and also just looks "newer" to me.

Me too.

I think the black cheapens the look. New Explorers are have colored pillars and look much nicer. The black fades so bad it looks like **** after time.

 

[Burns]

See the pillars were all scratched up. Thats why they are primer now.

 

[Burns]

Pillars will be black. Its decided.


Oh and get this. Someone actually had the brains to ask me "Did you get a new one?" Yup bought it at Ford. I wonder about some people.
