Default Vinyl wrap bottom for two tone?

Hey all - love my truck but when I purchased it I really wanted the two tone - silver was the color I wanted on the bottom. Deal was too good to pass up so I took it. Now I am thinking of vinyl wrapping the bottom. Has anyone done that and can someone post pics of what it looks like? I did actually do a search and found lots of wrapped F-150s but nothing like what I am thinking of. I was thinking of wrapping just the bottom so it looks nearly like it would have from the factory. Thoughts?

Thanks! Exactly what I am looking to do. Though I'll have to remove my OEM fender flares. I am not sure I want to have them wrapped to match, or just remove them completely.

Knifeless cutting tape
Heat gun
Vinyl Squeegee
x acto knife
Vinyl of choice (confirm it cuts with knifeless tape)

You could take it a step further and get some "special" cleaner to prep the surface. Otherwise with those basic things you can attempt it yourself.

Thanks everyone! definitely think I am going to have this done. Debating on ingot silver or magnetic for the color. Don't think I'll attempt myself, but I will remove and reinstall the fender flares. Also haven't decided if I am going to leave those blue or wrap them as well.

Funny how we all have our different tastes. My 2012 was two tone and while I didn't hate it, i wanted all black and seriously considered having it wrapped to be all black. BUT I traded it in on a new 2018 302a...in black of course. The 2012 was having a few issues at 70K and I no longer trusted it.

Same here.

I have been thinking of doing two tone on mine. Not sure yet.

Hey all - so I decided to get this done. Probably going with Gloss Silver Metallic. Two quick questions:

1 - Is there a good tutorial or instructions on removing the factory fender flares?
2 - How do I remove the parallel parking sensors? I am going to have them paint matched to the vinyl wrap. Also, does anyone have the part number for these? Can't seem to find them on Tasca's site. Found the bumper ones no problem, but not the ones that go in the front fenders.

Thanks!
