(ordered) 2022 Antimatter Blue F150 Tremor
So I gave up on trying to find a vinyl that matched and dropped 50$ on an electric Spice kit from Touch Up Direct. I don't have my truck yet to compare all the different areas, but when compared to the VIP auto accessories orange, I feel like it is close ebough.

I just sprayed 2 coats of base and one coat of clear on a fence bracket I had laying in the shop for a test piece. Here are the results. I included a bunch of pics in different lights amd one with flash.

Awesome, i ordered the same but FedEx "delivered" it aka marked it delivered and it's nowhere to be found.

Glad to see it's the right color. Planning to use it to paint interior trims.

Fedex is the worst. The driver that dropped mine off just tossed his Gatorade bottle on the side of my driveway.
 
I hate fedex....they lost one of my wheels, so that's why I haven't changed them yet. Been 5 weeks and I'm still fighting with them for reimbursement. I finally broke down and just bought another for the time being.
 
Where are you guys buying this from? I want to paint my tow hooks. Hate the faded look.

Yes F&@k Ex is the worst ever. They lost my rails for my Retrax cover. Left the canister on the porch with no signature. They claim to have found the rail package and have tried to deliver it but need a signature. Was out for delivery today. Been waiting all day and get a text saying delivery is rescheduled for tomorrow. They want a signature for a $5.00 RC car part but leave a $2800.00 cover without one. I have many places I don't use anymore because they ship with FedEx. Rant over, good find on the paint.

Touchupdirect is the name of the company. Order online. It has all the OEM colors in touch up spray paint can and they come with a clear coat, and primer if you need.

I ordered Oxford white to paint my side emblems and electric spice to do the interior trims.

What interior trims do you plan on painting?

Most of the ones that are that shiny ish black color. There's a company on Amazon that sells the trim covers in carbon fiber, so my first test will be painting one of those before putting it on so I don't practice with my actual trims or have to take anything apart.

For the record I liked the first part of this not the second. Also interested in getting rid of the faded tow hook look.
 

Really thinking about getting these fender flares and painting the bolts in electric spice. Think it'd be too much or just right?
 
Not really a fan of those cutouts for some reason. If someone wants to buy a set and send them to me I'll paint them and try it out though! lol

Probably look good on a black Tremor.

The accent colours look better on some colours for sure.

back to the real question. I think it might be to much but really hard to tell until it’s a done deed. I contemplated powder coating my fake bead lock bolts but ended up not committing, maybe one day we’ll reevaluate this decision.

I'd hate to pay the price for those flares plus custom paint and then decide I didn't like them. Get something like these and put them in the locations where the bolts would be to get an idea of the effect.
 
Not a bad idea. Think I might get the fenders and put these over the bolts to see. It's going on an AMB which I think contrasts nicely with the orange. But still don't want to go overboard.
