Blacked Out '22 Carbonized Gray (DIY Black Appearance Package (BAP) in progress)

What kind of paint did you use? Think of spraying mine too.

I used VHT, high heat spray paint, but not really sure if I will go flat black or color match when I get my paint in. I like the flat black option more and more. But look up VHT paint, or any high heat paint will work.

Looks really good!

Are the painted side badges simple black or are they metallic black? Trying to determine if these would look out of place on an Agate Black Lariat or if I should have the oem's painted to match.

Simple Black, I would say they have a slight gloss look to them in the right light. But they are not painted, they are black plastic.

Are you going to do anything about the bed Sport decals?

I removed mine and went with some grey 4x4 ones:

Ford asshats come out with this after I bought my 21. F-ing nice! - Sarcasm alert!

Hey KB, Yep, I Replaced the factory Sport 4X4 decal on the bed. I found a place that had them in black and gray but the X was red. So I called them up and asked if they could make them with the X black, the results.

The BAP.

Yeah same, When I ordered my 22 in Oct of 21 I was told the BAP wouldn't be available until towards the end of 22. I couldn't wait that long. So I am now slowly creating my own BAP version.

I hear ya. Still pulling my hair out trying to get rid of all that plastic interior chrome. My 21 is Agate black with black interior. Interior looks like crap to me.
