Cab Paint Prep
Good morning!
I have an F600 on order for work and unfortunately the color selection on this truck is limited, our fleet color of Green Gem isn't available. I ordered Oxford White and will have the cab painted when it arrives. I plan to remove all the trim before sending it out so it looks close to factory when finished, I'm having the jambs painted too. I've found some videos on removing some items but I'm still trying to figure out how to remove the plastic panels from the rear window pillar on the door, and the similar panel on the B pillar. Also, there are some plastic trim strips on the roof just in from the door edge, I need help with these.
I'll post the videos I've found, if any of you can add to this please do, this thread can be a reference for paint prep in the future.
Remove grill:
Remove side badges
Remove headlights

I had two different dealers tell me the F600 wasn't available in Green Gem, I even questioned them how that could be when every other size Super Duty is. I ordered one truck through a municipal bidding system and the salesman who got the order even claimed to have called corporate to verify. The order was placed late December 2020. Could things have changed since then? This will be annoying to learn if accurate. I'm pretty sure my truck has already been built and is waiting to be shipped.

Something is definitely off, I have 25 trucks due in late April. All are coming in with custom paint as usual because we order a very specific blue that is unique to our fleet and I had no issues placing the order.
