Starting a thread for my truck. Going to do some blackout things to it and will posts updates.

First thing I did was tear off the 4x4 stickers....hate them.

Just got done smoking the tail lights and third brake light. Its drying so I'll post a pic when I get them back on.

I will take suggestions on black out ideas, pictures of other black 04-08 trucks, any advice, etc.

Also, grill, lower grill, headlights, fog light ideas would be great!!
Thanks

 

2 coats Night Shades...3 clear coats on all three brake lights
I didn't want it to dark

was real simple to do

 

I taped off my emblems and painted them black.

 

I know said you didn't want your tails too dark but if you start blacking everything out it's gonna look off. Lights are one of the key components involved in doing blackouts. Your tails still look pretty red. I would get tails that have a black housing and then tint to look black without the light being too dark itself.

 

looks good

 

Harley headlights, plasti dip bumpers and grille, paint both the "ford" and "f150" emblems black, get black rims, dark window tint, ditch the running boards. That's pretty much what I have done to my truck.

 

Dipped the badges...turned out ok for my very first time using Plastidip
One badge may need a redo cuz of some bubbling/smudging

 

nice....

 

Ripped off the plastidip!
Re did the badges...2 coats of primer, 3 coats of krylon fusion black, 3 coats of clear!
Looks way better...pics tomorrow
Also took windshield cowl off and did that black Krylon fusion. Pics also coming

 

did the cowl with krylon fusion for plastics
