To paint Expedition in two colors

[Bigmac]

After that we started the becoloring preparation process itself.
We needed to make the surface matted where we wanted to put brown color.
Together with it we needed to decide, where to lay that stripe, that was initially on the car as a sticker?
This time we decided to draw it instead of to stick the new one.
As you can see on one of the pictures, back door is also with the stripe, because we need to 'divide' that black and brown colours:

The car once again was sent to painting camera:

And here already after that we got the final result - a two-tone car:

While the car was disassembled, I decided to change the alarm horn, installing Nautilus (red) instead of original one. As it is quite powerful, it demands extra wire from the battery to the horn to provide sufficient power supply.

I must have to say that to assemble the car is much more difficult than to disassemble it)
Anyway, finally (98%) it acquired the following view:

to be continued.
Thanks.

Looking good!

Maybe it's the lighting + camera, the red is a lot more subtle than I was expecting.

I like it.

 

[Bigmac]

Yes, you are right!
Actually color differs from that one from the first picture. We've got standard Porsche color - Mahagony for this purpose. Actually it is dark brown I would say.
Sorry for the bad pictures quality, this is phone's camera I suppose. Actually, I didn't get my car back, yet. So I can't do normal pictures. When I receive it back, I'll make new photos.

Really looks great - can't wait to see it outside in the sunlight.

 

[Bigmac]

Hello, everybody!

The wether is still not the best one, but I did some more pictures:

Looks like new - like a factory package. Very nice.

 

[Bigmac]

Thanks, fellow!
Thanks so much.
I've just bought original rims with "like new" quality for summer time (the same as on the car now) on the incredable price 520$ here in Russia(

 

[Bigmac]

Unfortunately, can't find here original front mad flaps
Can someone kindly find it for me there in the Motherland?) I'll pay for this.

The truck looks great. You really did a nice job. If you don't mind me asking what did the entire job cost you?

 

[Bigmac]

Hi, John!
Thank you for your "mark")
If we will take into consideration all stuff through the repair way (doors replasement, floor bars, yelding etc. it's aroun 5000$,
but, please, take into consideration, that in Russia everything regarding foreign cars, esp from US is much more expensive, than somewhere else.
I think, there in the Ford's Motherland you can manage it around 2000 $.

 

[John Christopher]

I don't think $5000 is a bad price considering all the work that was done. I honestly don't believe it would be much less in the US. Great Job Enjoy the truck!!
