My New Ranger XL

That's not paint. Those are vinyl decals. You can get them here for $7.99:

TVD Vinyl

Hi Jason,

Thanks! familiar with the TDV Vinyl....not an easy install.

Must have read the OP incorrectly
" Ordered in July 21 arrived January 22 I’ve added tailgate and grill letters and painted dash letters "

You are right. I missed the 'painted dash letters'

Perfect color choice,congrats.

Dang man you waited a long time for that Ranger.How did you do it?

It was rough hard not to check Ford site daily if not hourly. I got such a good deal though would have been stupid to not

Hi Mark,

How did you paint the inside dash letters? I would like to do something like this too, but afraid I would not be up to the task with my less than steady hands. Did you use special paint? Wife has special paints used to paint boots and other leather goods... Was thinking of making a mask to help but very tedious. You did a great job on painting the dash letters and I think your truck looks great both inside and out!

Here is an example of these special paints by my wife on her boots...

Yeah...we like to Cowgirl up and Cowboy up on occasion..

Phil

Those are awesome! I used an acrylic paint pen with an extremely fine point. I used to work for Johnson Controls and in aviation industry with interiors.

Where do you get those letters for the front & dash? Love them! Thanks for picking the best color ranger!

Front and tailgate letters on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/SF-Sales-USA-Letters-2019-up

I almost ordered the TD vinyls buts didn’t trust that I could get them right. I may actually paint over those again with blue glow in the dark!

Already have plans for running boards and bed liner wife keeps giving me side eye though lol

Very nice ride

Wow, I'm so envious, I have an XL Scab on order. And that's so clever on the dash, I'll have to rip off, err, get inspired to do the same. Except in Race Red but man, does your dash look sharp like that!

Enjoy your truck!

Great looking Ranger Mark! I do like the blue that's for sure. Enjoy!

The vinyl decals are a bit tricky on the dash. But you put them on uses the wet method so that you can move them around to get them just right I did mine with Cardinal red.
