Ruby/rapid red two tone trucks

While visiting some family members in Tennessee this past week one of them forgot about my truck being parked in the driveway, needless to say I’m going to need a fender and possibly a door if it’s in fact pushed in like I think. I’m also thinking since it’s going to be in the paint booth having stone chips on the rockers/behind rear fends repaired. I’m kicking around the idea of having the truck painted with the two tone bottom. But I’m not 100% sure how it’ll look. Can anyone help me out with some pictures?


White paint down door, popped the powerstroke loose and the fender has some wrinkles in the body line.

One of the 2022 Ford gray colors would look nice like the two tone option from the factory. I think they use the carbonized grey. I don't think white or silver would look as good as they used to on older trucks. Go to the build-a-truck page at ford.com and try out some colors.

Doesn't look like any damage, just polish it out and call it a day.

Is your's Rapid or Ruby? I have Rapid/Stone Gray. Ruby looks really good with Caribou. They both also both look good with Magnetic or Carbonized Gray.

it doesn’t show up in pictures but the body lines for the fender have dents to them. She also contacted insurance to fix her van so insurance will be footing the bill.

Damage to the van, it’ll be new rear bumper some massaging around the rear fender sheetmetal, fill two big dents from my mirror. It also stripped the extending gears out of my mirror. All first world problems but she’s paid insurance for 50 years without a claim.

that’s what I was thinking, just to split up all the red and give the truck a different look. Since I typically trade every 3 years which is this year but seeing how the mess with ford is I’m going to be holding onto this one.

Anyone can do a white center wrap on any color. The 3m material is less then $500.

There you go, Wrap it, if you don't like it, or get tired of it, just peel it off. A lot easier than once it is painted.

My vote though would be Prairie Tan. A nice bright color that blends well with red. Check the bottom band, not the flare since it is faded.


Found this one pic.

This member found wrapping was more expensive than painting!
