Which color is closest to the trim?

braptorin · Aug 22, 2017

I'm having a hard time understanding how the marketing pictures compare with aftermarkets... from the marketing shots it looks like the trim pieces are almost exactly "magnetic" but from the aftermarket (owner's) pictures I find randomly online, I see the trim is mostly black (thus Shadow Black in 2018 would match best).

I've been going crazy trying to find a side-by-side photograph with all three of Shadow, Lead Foot, and Magnetic, which could answer my question. Perhaps that exists? Please link me if it does! I googled until my eyeballs fell out.

Thanks!

Magnetic and Shadow are the two closest. I have the Magnetic and it matches near perfect. A friend has black and you can see the contrast up close.

Magnetic is too light, shadow too dark. Lead foot looks closest in the 2 pictures I've seen of it in real life.

Magnetic looks closest to me, but it is gloss and the trim is matte.
I saw Lead Foot at a local dealer and it is lighter and not metallic.

That correlates with the custom-build photos on the Ford website, but those are so computerized it is very hard to tell (the Lead Foot is lighter than the Magnetic).

One of the reasons why Magnetic looked the best to me and I chose it... At times it almost looks color matched. Hands down Magnetic is closest.

I had to order a new front flare. When I asked the parts guy if it came painted, he said, "hold on...30 seconds pass...it says magnetic". So the paint they use on the trim is called magnetic. I believe that should settle it.

18,000,002, 18,000,003, 18,000,004, and 18,000,005 pic of that truck (but who's counting, anyway).

Which color is closest to the trim?
