Default Photoshop request

Hi, all!

I've been a member for a bit over a year now -- I joined when I got my 2011 F150 Lariat 5.0 Super Crew. I've since traded the truck in to get out of debt and purchased an 06 King Ranch in two-tone Dark Stone Metallic / Tan.

I finally have a day off tomorrow and I want to plasti dip the Tan parts in black, including the entire grill & chrome surround, bumpers, rocker panels, and then do the black headlight mod.

If any of you Photoshop wizards have a chance, I'd appreciate it!



Thanks a ton! Previewing will really help me in deciding whether or not to spend a whole day painting! Cheers!

-Paul

Dont do it! That is one of the only two-tones that look good!!! You should probably post this in the "General F150 Discussion" section.

I think I'm going to have to agree with Summers on this. This color combination has such a classy look in my opinion. But if your goal is to get more of an off road look, then the good thing is you can just peel it off later.

It's your truck so you do whatever you want to it. But in my opinion don't do it. I have the same color combo on my truck and it gets compliments all the time because there aren't many of these color trucks around. The only dark stone metallics that I've seen in my area are the XLT trims with chrome bumpers.

Thanks, gents! As I was walked into Home Depot to buy the plasti dip, I turned back, looked at the truck and decided not to do it. It does look very classy as-is and although I can always pull the dip off, I'd rather not spend my precious time off in dipping it if I'm not sure. Thanks for the words!

I'd say buy a new grille emblem and get some leather CPR and replace the emblem and go nuts on the seats. Here's my 03's seats before and after the CPR And spa treatment

Wow! Nice job w/the leather! What's CPR? My seats could use the spa treatment.
