Ya I know lol. But hey I got a good deal. She aint purdy yet but I am working on her. Btw what does PTM mean. Luckily the grill and surround are solid no cracks just faded. Some day I will take them out and do something nice. The othee side of the bed and under the bed are shot. I plan on replacing it from one of the local junkyards. Cant beat 150 and they pull it lol.

PTM is paint to match. Or body color in other words.

Oh ok. I was thinking black chrome. The whole piece. I will take pics of it after I get the shackles on it tomorrow. Cant beat a 2 inch drop kit for 35 bucks when Ford wants 50 a shackle.

I was thinking of painting my bumper black but I'm worried that it will chip off during wheeling though brush. The smoke paint I used to smoke my tail lights is unbelievably strong. I even had a hard time taking it off with paint thinner when I messed up but Ive yet to come across a flat black or any other normal color paint that is just as strong.

any one know any brands?
