Looks good and good job thumbs up. I did something similar but just in middle of hood not whole hood and roof.

Good job man! I actually just did my mustang hood flat black! (It's chrome yellow factory) Was this by the gallon and sprayed on or rattle can? If rattle can, you have more patients than me lol

I think it looks alright. I've been considering a vinyl wrap for mine

It definitely looks better than all black. It's cool you did it all yourself, makes it even better. Good job!

Not my style either but it turned out far better then anything I could do and honestly, I think it would probably grow on me. The blacked out front end looks great, I think if you did the whole truck in black paint it would really bring it together. You can get a paintjob for way less then 4k if you know the right people and it's a simple respray.

Looks good, but you need to get rid of the Dumbo ears in my opinion.. also would look better if the mirror bases were not white.

X's 2. I would go back with stock mirrors and paint the skull caps.

Thanks guys. I thought about doing the whole truck black but wanted to mix it up. And I haven't seen a two tone truck like that before. I used the sprayable gallons on body and rattle can on rims. I still have a gallon of gloss to coat over black but I don't know if I want it gloss yet. I got those mirrors because they were only $20 and I tow a camper and occasionally a work trailer so its nice to be able to extend them. I appreciate the support and look forward to dipping more.

Eventually I would look into a different style tow mirror. I have these.

I know several members here use these mirrors.
