Greetings from a ford newbie

[Jake_C]

Just joined the forum, I picked up my ranger back in February of this year and have been daily driving it since then. I wasn’t sure how long I’d have it at first but now I think I might keep it around for awhile and I might do some work on it. In my experience joining a forum is about the best thing you can do before diving into work on a platform that you know little to nothing about so here I am. First picture is when I got it. Second is how it’s been most of
the time I’ve had it and last is how it is currently.

I kinda like the old color better lol. How did you get the fender flares off the front without damage?

I liked the old color too but it was 4 different colors with the other body parts on it and I knew I couldn’t match the factory paint color and I liked the dark green. Looks good enough for me for a rattle can paint job.

Im just a big fan of gray/silver lol. Rattle can job? Dang not bad at all, looks great in photo at least lol. I though it was at least an earl scheib lol.

Lol it’s one of those 10 yards away paint jobs. There’s some dull spots in the clear coat where I didn’t get enough on but it turned out better than I wanted it.

I've always referred to that as the 30/30.

30 feet away... 30 mph... it looks pretty good. Glad to see you're gonna keep it.
