Default 04 - 08 painted interior?

Has anyone seen the any of the 04-08 F150's w/ the factory dash pieces painted to match the exterior? There are the panels that are like a Dark Flat Grey on either side of the Stereo and on either side of the cab against the doors. Just curious as to what this may look like? If anyone has any pics it would be great! My truck is that pearl white color, and before i go and paint a ton of the plastic on the interior white i wanna see what it looks like.

I've seen the decal kits on EBay, but other than that I haven't seen paint.... that would take alot or work to get all the stuff preped, masked from overspray....

ive been wanting to do the same to mine. it wouldnt be all that much work to prep since the whole dash is just clipped in. im going to a junk yard in a few weeks to see if they have any 04-08 f150's and im gonna grab the dash out of one and try painting it. i'll put some pictures on here if i ever get it done.

Check out most truckin or street truck magazines. There are always trucks in there with painted dashes, and if you wait and look hard enough, there will be one with a ford. I'm thinking about doing it to mine when it warms up and I can get it in the garage.

I'm pretty sure those decals are not what you had in mind are they Brent? You are wanting to paint all the grey pieces white just like they did the Harley trucks in gloss black.
They only way to do that is to remove those pieces and have a professional paint them. I considered doing it when I had the HD ground effects pieces painted but decided I wanted to wait a little longer before deciding to do so.

I'm not sure the pearl white really goes all that well with the 2 toned brown interior of our trucks.

Yea thats definitely not what i was thinking, but after really looking at our interior in the LIMITED's I see no real reason to change the dash pieces because it all ties together with the door panels and the charcoal gray inserts on the seats. I was just looking to bring some of the HD styling in the truck but Ford knows way more about what they are doin than I do. Plus im going for the factory look anyways.

Yea man I wouldn't paint the interior pieces at all. The limited is a very nice truck and only 5000 of them were produced. I would keep it all original.
