GEN 2 Painting fenders, grill and the question is does one painted the tailgate plaque as well?

Here is my Un-Raptor. I know there are going to be haters and fine. I prefer to have people wonder what I drive.that's

I actually like it a lot and commend you on doing something a little different and making your truck, "yours".

I would not paint the tailgate applique. I also probably would not paint the flares body color either. However, given that the OEM were gray....and now that you have aftermarket bumpers which are black.... I would probably paint them the same color and texture as your bumpers

Check that... After seeing the other poster's truck, painting the applique actually looks pretty nice.

I did it to my truck. I love it. Only think I would do differently is keep the FORD in the back a different color. But that can be fixed with some rappy graphics.

I painted the fender flares, bumpers, door handles and mirror caps on my Black Gen 1 to match the truck. There was no tailgate applique on the Gen 1s, or I would have painted it as well. The look is called Monochrome and it makes the truck standout from the thousands of other Raptors out there today. Face it, the gray plastic pieces are ugly on all Raptors except the matching Magnetic Gen 2s, which is the reason I chose the color for mine. With Magnetic, everything blends in and I did not have to pay to have the plastic pieces painted to match.

I say do it all the way, or do not do it at all.



Magnetic Gen 2:

I don’t like it all color matched. Also, I think OP is trolling you guys.

I wanted to clarify what I did with my Raptor. The color matched fenders and bumpers where done with 3M vinyl wrap. The company that did mine specializes in very expensive vehicles. By using wrap rather than paint it can be reversed in the future for a couple of hundred bucks.

Good observation. After reading other post from the OP, you might be right.

The only thing worse than mean people are trolls.

He might be a troll with the 4" Fabtech Lift and 22" wheels! But, at least he posted unique pictures unlike many of the trolls who do not even own a Raptor...
