recent paint work on the '04

[NEWFIE F-150]

well, always hated the chrome and the silver with rust accent wheels. kept putting it off with a general "it's only the '04" thought, or "waste of money" or something of the sort. I did the grille surround a while back randomly, then this monday, seeing it was nice out, started the rest, ending up spending over 20 bucks. just had enough of looking at the chrome, and kinda thought if this truck is gonna be with us, might as well try to keep her half decent. finished PTM with the bumpers, graphite wheel and door handles. still pissed at the cost, but for a dull old brick incapable of looking overly great, it sure shined her up a bit.

I mostly see 99s and up and the odd 97-98......an occasional 96 or before, which is a treat

ah, the wonders of less road salt lol.

but to be fair, it's not salt, it's the lack of owner's effort to protect them from it....
