Question from someone who knows nothing about automotive paint. What did you have to do to get the trim and bumpers to match body color? New panels in a different material? Lay down a different substrate before paint? Simple sand and paint? Looks awesome and I always wonder how people accomplish this on a textured finish.

First we need to know if the lower, what I'll call fascias, are mold in color or actually have a paint on them. Second it would b nice to know the substrate. If it is TPO with mold in color then an adhesion promoter would be needed then paint. I'd venture an educated guess that they are indeed TPO. If they are painted then yes scuff sand then probably just topcoat and clear. The mirror covers are probably nylon so scuff primer and paint. Door handles, maybe again nylon so the same.

Lowest lowered / slammed / dumped Maverick pickup I've seen. 🙀

More info & pics. It's on bags.

Currently bagged, raised the front strut mount to sectioned rear cups to get it all the way down. Sitting on 22 inch asanti wheels. All color matched with added fender flares. Custom stereo and seats should be done in a week or so and hood and tailgate are at paint getting graphics. Should be cutting in a 40x40 sliding ragtop this Friday.

Looks like it's getting some nice custom seat covers too.

Looks great takes me back to the good old days. Love the color scheme on the hood and matching the trim.

Looks awesome! This takes me back to MiniTruckin’ days. Also apparently a lot of folks don’t seem to understand that the suspension is adjustable so you can air up the bags to raise it to drive then let the air out to lower it. It’s a show truck but still drivable.

I think it looks pretty cool. And to the haters, think of it like this.., Even though it’s not your cup o tea, the more interest and customizing that gets done to these trucks, the better it is for the aftermarket in whole.

Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but it's mine for sure! Very nicely done, and great attention to detail.

This is very impressive work. We need designers and fabricators to push the edges of comfort! This is where we see innovation and ultimately the more popular trends wind up in high demand.

My hat is off to those who take chances and go their own way. Bravo!
