GEN 2 Color Matching My Gen 2

Do pimp’s actually advertise? If so, you should post the “after” pics of the Call Me, *******! custom vinyls applied.


ETA: sorry for the gross assumption. I suppose it could just as well be XXXX Ministries. Call to Save Your Soul graphics.

Looks great. Not everyone wants to roll down the road in a "look at me" vehicle. I got a magnetic colored Rpator so that the bumpers and fenders would be close to the same color and not be so gaudy without having to go thru the effort of painting.

This is why I chose Leadfoot over Race Red. I love the Race Red, but didn’t like the contrast with the grey flares and bumpers, and at 43 I don’t need a “look at me” flashy truck. 3 of my last 4 trucks have been bright red. I prefer the Leadfoot to the Magnetic, but the Magnetic looks very clean with the panels and flares almost matching.

Wow, I didn't think you could screw up a Raptor, but I guess you proved me wrong. It just looks now like maybe a FX4 snow blind, but if you like it that's all that matters.
White is my fav color also

LOL, love the honesty. Its all good. I know it won't be everyone's taste, but it does look better innperson than the pics give justice to it. The two tone is just not my jam. And now it doesn't look like every other white raptor out there.

The white tailgate applique is perfect IMO, may have to paint mine too

I also have the Magnetic Raptor for the exact same color matching reason. In case you did not know, the trim pieces and appliqué on all Raptors are Magnetic with a matte finish vs Gloss. I think the tailgate colors are close enough, so I have not bothered to have mine painted gloss.

I did the same thing to my Tux Black 2012... loved it. Taking the fenders and bumpers from that matte black/grey to the Tux Black just made the whole thing look badass.

I almost considered doing it to my 2019 White, but ultimately decided I liked the contrast and even had the roof wrapped in black to add more. I'm kind of thinking yours might look pretty good with a roof wrap in black just so there's a contrast *somewhere*... but then again, what do I know?

I think it still has stormtrooper potential.....not all is lost

I think it looks great. Best of luck with it!

I'd be concerned about the fender flares, the rear kick, and the front bumper getting rock chips and looking like crap, with that black showing through the white. I had a friend who did something similar and ran into that problem.

Good input.....maybe ill do a clear wrap on those parts to protect them.
