SRTKR’s Build Thread (Velocity Blue Paint Matched, Including Grill Bar)

[Srtkr]

Hey guys some of you might have seen me post on the Facebook group but here’s some pics for those not on there.

I recently had the front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts and grill piece paint matched. Pair that with bullseye customs black housed head lights and you have perfection. Next will be 20’s, coilovers (when available) and tint.

Plans are to just have a super clean and modern daily driver as this is replacing my Honda Fit. Definitely not my first time going deep into a project, I’ll list a couple of my past cars below.

Here is some of my past cars

I think everything you’ve done was done well. Very clean. The only thing I have mixed feelings on whenever I see it is when people repaint the grill piece. It just seems odd to me. But like I said great job. Enjoy your ride.

I was very back and forth on what I wanted to paint that but the F-150’s came paint matched so I knew if I did that it would be brand relatable if that makes sense. I knew I could always vinyl wrap it or have carbon fiber laid on it if I hated it. However i ended up really liking the paint match, esp with the black housed lights.

I’m jealous. I love the blue on the Maverick trim. Awesome look.

Spectacular! Question, what does it take to keep the pain adhered to the black plastic trim?

Loving that 2005 rally red element build! Seems there are a number of former element owners around here.

I feel like the Maverick shares a lot of traits with it. Fun, practical and unique.

If Honda ever decided to return to the element roots with a beefed up, more efficient engine, I think sales would be through the roof. Outdoor oriented vehicles are so hot right now.

Looks fantastic!

Definitely having mine done I think. Having my cab spoiler paint matched as well.

Looks awesume !!!! Thats one of my biggest complaints about the appearance of the maverick and other SUVs is the flat black plastic wheel well trim and on the maverick in front of and behind the rear wheels and the rear bumper.. I dont mind the plastic so much its the ugly flat black color they use. Why not paint them in the factory to match the color of the vehicle. You did what Ford should have done. Your truck now looks much better then stock. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
