When I was washing the truck yesterday I saw something odd. The light hit the inside of the rear door jamb and I saw a lot of blue metallic in the paint that doesn't show up on the exterior of the vehicle. Any ideas why my door jamb looks like this? Does anyone else's?

Mike, I had to go look at my doorjamb, and sure enough, I have the blue flecks. Surprised me. Not sure what that's all about, but hasn't bothered me to this point. I had to put a flashlight on it to see the flecks. I'll probably feel different once the sun comes out in the spring, and the flecks are more visible.

Well its only noticeable if your rear door is open and you're looking for it I suppose. It doesn't bother me I just thought it was odd to see. I'm glad it's not just my truck like this I would be worried it was repainted or something.

Picked this up to take the place of the brown 96 F150 behind it. I bought the 96 late in 95 so I’ve been using it for 26 years. While I fix what breaks when needed I just wanted a new hunting truck. My wife’s begging me to not sell the 150 she feels it’s like one of the family but I’m more pragmatic.

My 15 F250 is Tuxedo Black and looks like that everywhere, when cleaned and waxed I get a lot of compliments about the colors

My Titanium Fusion was Tuxedo Black. It’s metallic for sure. Not a lot but just enough. Wish they kept that color for the Ranger.

Shadow Black has blue metallic flakes in it. They tend to be very subtle under certain lighting.

Every Shadow Black vehicle from Ford has it. Anyone who says “no mine doesn’t” can’t see it lol. It’s there.

The paint code at body shops calls for blue flake as well.

I like that you chose a SUPERCAB for your new hunting truck because you know the deer you‘re going to bag will be so big it won’t fit in a 5’ bed. ?

Maybe so but its definitely more noticeable in the door jambs than anywhere on the exterior of the truck. If the exterior looked like my door jambs I wouldn't complain though its a great looking color.

Hey gang,
Fallen in love with this Black Beauty. Many more mods to come....hard cover on back, weather guard, have some decals to add besides my blacked out logo,when the weather permits. Update some green to it.
Update green decals added. Put a black logo on the steering wheel. Switched out some light bulb s in the back and had some ambient lighting added. Just installed diode dynamics amber foglights. Over the past year added ceramic tint to the window, switched out legit black emblems. Upgrade tires to Ford performance with 265/70/17 General Grabbers. Bushwacker Fender Flares. Rock lights.
