Paint Resto

Just showing off the progress on my paint restoration. The truck was sitting for nearly a decade before I bought it.

Before:

This is where I’m at. This is one coat of Ultimate Compound on a Griot Garage orange pad. Still need to polish and wax.

Looks great! It's amazing what an evening and a buffing pad will do.

Paint or product to restore the plastic grille? If paint, what would you recommend? I’d like to use the same color/product on the back bumper after I strip it, if possible.

Also, does anyone sell replacement Ford stickers for the tailgate?
