A little more black...

[Falcon]

I wanted to wait to post this up until I got some decent pics with my truck actually clean but with the dust storms so frequent lately I decided that may be a while. I used plastidip on the wheels, tinted the headlights and retinted the tails. (still need to do the 3rd) Would like to do some matte black CE stripes next....if I can find the vector file for them. (I know I can buy those stripes from several places, but I have local person that will do them for me if I get them the file)

Yeah....looking at powdercoating those...knew the plastidip wouldn't work on them.

how did you tint your headlights?

Good ol VHT nightshades.....but also keep in mind that I painted the inside black too so I didn't have to use ask much to get the desired look.

 

[SRT-10 RAM VIPER]

is it easy to paint the inside of the headlight? how many coats of vht and clear coat did you add to the headligths?

 

[Falcon]

Some people will say that painting the headlights are easy but it was a PITA for me. With the nightshades the number of coats just depends on how dark you want them. And I didn't use clearcoat.

 

[SRT-10 RAM VIPER]

Can u explain of how u painted them from the inside

I like the chrome lugs on black rims. Just my taste but it keeps them from looking like winter rims. Truck looks great

 

[Falcon]

Had to bake the headlights in the oven for a while to melt the glue to separate the housing from the lens. Then I painted the chrome part (except for the reflective cup for the headlight) flat black. Reglued the lens on and bingo..... There are more details on the process in a thread on here somewhere. You can search painted headlights to find it....I would provide a link but I'm doing this from my phone.

I love the wheels.
The door handles look a little out of place in the pics but that is a VERY good looking truck!
