bought a 1999 XLT

I bought a 1999 F-150 XLT 4x4 with a 5.4L V8 today. It's dark toreador red. I'm going to the dealer to pick it up tomorrow. It's my first vehicle (I turn 16 on the 27th)
here's a pic:

That's a NICE truck! I have never seen them painted like that. It is cool. VERY unique. Hope you enjoy the ride!

That's a sweet truck. Same color as mine except mine doesn't have the special paint job, There's some pics in my gallery. Mine is a 97 lariat 4x4 4.6L V8. This is my first Vehicle also, and i haven't had any major problems except for new plugs and wires after i picked it up.

Thats a nice truck.
Is the paint from the factory, or did someone else put it on?
