I am going to get a lift some time can't wait to see peoples trucks. I don't think people put that big of tires on the f150's so you might not get many participants.

That camo looks pretty badass on your truck. I was thinking about spraying my grill shell in satin paint like you did and going with chrome grille and bezels, not sure on the bumper yet. what did you paint it in, SEM trim black?

Thanks! Painting it was a true research/science project... I visited the local woodlands and took pictures of the scenery with its shades and shadows. I shot a fender then walked like 75 feet away and squinted at the panel so see if the pattern broke up the silhouette. Success.

The camo is Krylon's Camo paint series ($3.97 a can at Walmart). The bumpers, grill, etc. is Krylon semi-flat Black 1613 - sometimes it is labeled satin black. If ya wanna see how I did the grill insert paint, visit this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...technique.html
