Powder coated Ranger Raptor!

Front silver delete…

Started with satin black paint, stripped it and went with Matte black, stripped it and applied truck bedliner with clear-coat on top (this looked the best).

I have used those aluminum valve stems before with disastrous results. Because of dissimilar metals, they froze on and couldn’t be removed to air down. I brought the truck to a tire shop in Moab and they had to drill the stems off!

Please learn from my mistake and go back to plastic caps!

I bought Method's for my gen 1 and got the metal valve stem caps included. My local tire shop warned me of this exact issue and they've been sitting in the basement since.

@DinoBirdClaws88, looks great! What bedliner paint you go with? I plan to do the same to the front lower bumper portion like you as well as the skid plate.

I’ll paint the lower bumper black this weekend and it will be complete.

Post the photo of your lower bumper. Thanks!

Picture attached-

Any Bedliner will work, it’s all about the prep 1st and using clear coat afterwards!

Put the caps on!

Love it, i agree on caps (centers) are those metal and powder coated as well or did you find a spray paint match?

Also a link maybe for the raptor valve stem cap?

We are calculating the cost of the upgrade to the beadlocks which are okay but don't blow me away.now we are looking m ingredients at aftermarket wheels or powder coating the oem wheels. How does that powder coating hold up when you mounted the tire back on?
Do you happen to have the name and or model # of the bronze coating?

Thanks. Mike

Not to be too nosey but what kind of cost did they charge to blast and powder coat your wheels? I also have to factor in the cost a shop would charge to unmount then remount the wheels plus balancing them. Still have time to change my order from the beadlock ready wheels back to the oem wheel, then use that savings to powder coat the oem wheel etc.
