So, I have my FX2 gunmetal wheels in for black powder coating...with red accents. I've ordered black Ford center caps and black lug nuts.

Additionally, I ordered 4 Nitto Ridge Grapplers at 35x11.5 R 20 and having them delivered to a local tire shop.

Hopefully everything should be ready and installed in a week.

I'll send before and after pictures when it's done.

This should complete my trucks customizations.

Chemically cleaned...next step is sand blasting. Looking great so far.

Can't wait to see this. I am considering the same tires for my FX4.

Sweet. He'll be sand blasting them next. I'll post those pictures when I get them.

It's all about good cleaning and prep.

Sandblasted pictures...painting tonight.

Also...sample colors and how they'll look together.

All gloss finishing.should cleanup well (I hope).

Where will the red accents be? Can't wait to see the finish product!

The red will be in the oval indents where the lug nuts are.

Here is an example. It gives you an idea but the Photoshop is poor, the red is different and the tires are very small. I'll be using 35x11.5 R20 Ridge Grapplers.

Additionally, I'll be using the Ford black center caps (not the center cap gunmetal color shown in the Photoshop picture) and black lug nuts.

Need to get a red and black overlay for the emblems on the wheels imho

justjimmy

I considered doing that later but I want to see how it looks first.

The problem with red...is that there's many shades and with the powder coated red, they may not match, especially being that the two red colors will be so close.

I'll wait and see how the wheels come out.
