Nope I just scuffed it with 320 and Steve shot it after the body work was done. Rustoleum is what it is called. Satin Black #7777. You can get it in spray bombs too.

I did originally put the rear expy letters across the hood but they we're too much. So I redid them in vinyl and spread them further.

This really looks fantastic, especially for the amount you have invested in paint. Really like the EXPEDITION along the bottom of the rear 1/4 windows, very nicely done. I think the second round of hood letters is the better choice. Novel idea, mimics the Explorer Sport.

Since I am throwing opinions out there... the stock tail lights (with the added stripes) look way better than the aftermarket ones. IMO. :^)

My tails were leaking badly and popping bulbs. I took them off and resealed them like new but the black tails I got at such a killer deal I couldn't pass on them. The hood letters are here in vinyl.

It was shot by my Friend in his Body Shop. I did all the prep. No primer, just scuff and shoot.
