How many cans for paint do you think it would take if I was trying to tackle mirror caps and side badges? 1 or 2 cans of paint and clear? Thanks

If you paint your grille please make a detailed video on disassembling the grille. I'm not talking about removing the grille. Actually disassembling the grille down to its bits and pieces. I would like to learn this process because I'd like to combine a Platinum and KR grille to make an all chrome grille.

Love those tails! Who painted them?

I just platidipped my mirror caps recently with satin black before I get them color matched in star white. However, the satin is growing on me and I may leave them in black

Your truck is absolutely beautiful. Looks luxurious but also very bad ass at same time. Great taste in mods mate. And a local wrap guy did my tails for $200. Painted gloss black. They turned out great. By the way I’m by 91362 area. You ?

Just finished up doing the tailgate appliqué in Satin Black with platinum and f150 logos color matched to star white. To get the platinum letters matched, I purchased an abs raised letter kit from Etsy (link below)

Great Video on tailgate appliqué removal


Also did the fender emblems and color matched the door handles.

Word of caution when re-installing the door handles, do not force it back in! Look into the hole where the left side of the handles insert into the door and make sure the teeth are backed out enough by turning the bolt in the side of the door and then reinsert. I forced it while installing my first handle back in and pushed the mechanism out of alignment and had to take the door apart including the inside panel. ??‍♂It is very easy to reinstall if you just take your time and know what you’re doing. Thanks Mr.Boom for the video on how to remove but wish there was a good video explaining the reinstall process



Used Touch up direct aerosol color match kit for the star white metallic and Duplicolor Color Max satin black with 1K Matte Clear. Next project is the mirror covers color matched and then on to the front grille assembly

How did you go about matching star-white with door handles and mirrors? i am having trouble finding any after market handles and mirror caps that are star white.

I ended up using Avery Dennison Diamond White Vinyl. The match is about 99%

Does anyone know if it’s possible to remove the ford emblem on the tailgate appliqué without removing the entire appliqué off the truck? Can you access the bolts from inside the tailgate?
