Carbonized errrrr Leadfoot!

[jay-rod427]

YUUUUGE shoutout to @Cappy for taking his time to indulge me.

I was not thrilled with any of the color choices, other than the I can’t get Lightning Blue, so ended up ordering Carbonized Gray with full intentions of changing it.

While a sharp color on it’s own, and I have owned many gray fords over the years this color just didn’t do it for me seeing it in person. Too close to silver for my tastes.

Reached out to Cappy for some editing skills to render up what I have in mind. Exterior will be Ford Leadfoot from the F150, parted by whatever natural seams in the door openings or other features align to keep CG on the interior and roll bars.

Looks Freakin awesome with all the black/cg plastic stuff for contrasts. Should be pretty quick and easy scuff and shoot when I finally get my Bronco. My step dad is a lifelong painter, and does phenomenal work. Might even get crazy with a stripe or something painted in when the time comes.

Without further ado if you’re still reading!

Kinda kills the ‘cactus’ part of it.

Leadfoot is awesome! That would easily be my choice if it was available.

You could wrap it.

You could wrap it.

Thought about that, but wraps have short lifespan, my stepdad and I will paint it for just the cost of the paint, and will be good opportunity to thicken up the clear coat and buff out orange peel, and be able to buff out Arizona pinstripes down the road.

Really cool! Don’t worry about the haters man, lead foot is an awesome color..

Some people are still stuck on the ole metallic paints of 60-70s....

Appreciate it man. Fell in love with the color the first time I saw it in person. F150 with the black appearance package that was new for 2020

That is awesome, I also wish this was available, would not have looked at any other color.

With how easy these things are to take apart, it would take a novice person to wrap it any color you wanted.

I had leadfoot on my '18 Raptor and loved it. Think it would look great on a 2DR.

Very cool color and neat that you are able to share this project with your step dad. Lifelong Bronco memories. I am a very late reservation holder and have only been lurking for a few months. I really appreciate all of the different ideas everyone has. Almost everybody on here seem like they are genuinely good people. Everytime I read something from a complete jerk and get irritated its from the same guy. If I knew I pissed somebody off or upset them, it would genuinely bug me. Some people just do not get it.

Man those shorty raptors are the best.
saw LF on a local focus rs recently and it was cool. I think it would be a cool color for a painted mod top too; which I think does not apply to all colors. My Area 51 for instance looks better IMO with the mic over a potentially too much A51 as a painted mod top option.

I would have gotten this instead of A51 because I wanted a non-metallic paint as well.

Cactus Grey was too green for me, and although A51 can be too teal, I think it has enough character that I'll be happy with it.

If I ever get tired of it, since we're able to take off the fenders pretty easily I think a self wrap would be doable, in like a Nardo Grey or some other color.

That is exactly why I don't like the Carbonized. Too much metallic flake makes it resemble silver which I don't like silvers.

A51 could play along with a lot of paint schemes if you decide to wrap it.
