2002 F-350 Rebuild/Partial Restore

Tonka350 · Dec 5, 2011

how hard is it to plastidip Konnor? I'm thinking with the new paint job of plastidipping the new wheels, getting another bumper and grille for the winter seasons and blacking out the truck for the winters and running chrome in the summers....just my idea but I want to plastidip for sure.

well boredom got the best of me again.

another edited paint scheme idea:

give me any feedback you have. like i said this is just a rough idea of a different scheme and color selection you wont hurt my feelings any.

Need more than just a line to break it up. Not sure about the shape of the design yet though

TheSmokinStroke2002 · Dec 16, 2011

That looks good. The silver and black with the dip on the doors is just too busy for me. Also, maybe less stickers on the truck? I understand a few on the back glass, but to me, the stickers on all of the windows take away from the clean lines.

This one looks the best, maybe black on bottom and silver on top would look better. Either way between the two tone I think you should follow that body line all the way to the front, and leave that dip down on the front fender you've got going on off of it!

so far this is my favorite as well. it will be the factory ford sonic blue color.

see to me that is to plain. i want something a little out of the ordinary but nothing that is to extravagant if you know what i mean?

I know what ya mean, it just looks out of place in the renderings with the black front bumper. It doesn't really flow I guess.
It should look good and different whichever you choose because it wasn't a factory two tone! I've often thought about what my truck would look like if I had my truck painted sonic blue from that upper body line on the cab, up.

Tonka350 · Dec 19, 2011

Konnor Dick, you're welcome on the help, not a problem at all LMAO...as for the blue it looks decent but the stripe would have to be smaller....1/4"-1/2" AT MOST! it would be the perfect size to split the two up and not look like overkill...but what trailer said, run it all the way to the front following the body lines.

i dont plan on following the body lines, just for the fact of doing something different. and it would be about 1/2".

Ordered everything for the 05 conversion it should be on next weekend. Went with the Harley style front and got some 05 mirrors as well.
