Default What do you think?

So I got tired of my chrome tips getting filthy. So I went and bought VHT Flat Black Header paint. I cleaned all the dirt and grit off then scuffed the tips with an emery cloth. I then put on 2 coats of the paint, waiting about 10 minutes in between coats. I think this looks much better and now if they chips I can just repaint them. Let me know what ya guys all think?

looks good. good thing you went with a flat color so that way touchups will be easy. good job with having no runs either.

Looks good if that is what you are going for (obviously it is). I will never own another blacked out car unless it is one that I can stick in a garage and never drive unless it is sunny and pollen free.

My Talon was a nightmare keeping clean but when it was clean it was NOICE!

Boiler,
Your truck looks nice as I have said before. But I too know black trucks as lenn. I had at one time a black 1985 F350 4x4 w/ built 460 cu in 4" lift Dick cepec 36" x 15 wide tires the black one was my best truck. I hope my new 2008 turns out to be as good.
My F150 won't pull the loads but should do the dirt as well or better!!!!
