Seriously considering this ...

Every time Plastidip comes up all I want is a bright orange SHO!

  Maybe Canary Yellow ?

DRII,

My MKS has the EcoBoost Appearance Package and all of the trim is already painted to match. You may be lucky enough to find color-matched pieces on Car-Parts.com or somewhere similar. For the rear bumper, it would probably be easier to just have it sprayed.

did your's come with the 10 spoke wheels?  i didn't like the 10 spoke wheels as much as the 11 spoke premium wheels, which is why i avoided the MKS with the red 'S' on the back, but has body colored cladding which i wanted.

i also asked Maaco about painting the cladding, when i went to get the vinyl stripes on my car removed, they said its not worth painting the under cladding because of all the nicks and scrapes it would take.  i was thinking that plastidip may hold up better than enamel...

Plastidip is awesome stuff! I've had my rear chrome stuff and front grille/LED bar trims done for almost 2 years now, wheels have been done for 1 year. After a good wash it all still looks new. Friend of mine did his faded black C5 Vette with fading chrome wheels...afterwards...matte red with anthracite wheels. Pretty amazing stuff.

Yep, I have the 10-spoke wheels. I actually like them better than the other available factory wheels for the MKS, but different strokes for, well, you know. I searched for six months before I found my car. I had to drive 5 hours away to get it and it was all because I wanted Tuxedo Black and the EcoBoost Appearance Package. I love the factory smoked headlights.


BTW, I picked up a can of matte black Plasti Dip today. If the weather is nice enough, I plan to experiment with some trim pieces this weekend. I'll be sure to post pictures. On another unrelated note, I was finally able to get the windows tinted today. There is a surprising lack of tint shops that operate on weekends in my area, so I left work early to get it done. My project is slowly coming together...

Calm down, grandpa! I mentioned Plasti Dip in my last reply too! Everyone seems to be overly sensitive around here lately, lol.
