Not a build but a change

[Macrosill]

Before and after. I was hoping to restore the original emerald green but it didn’t work out.

More pics of in the process if anyone is interested. The new color is a custom tint I picked up at the local auto body supply and added to the raptor liner. While not perfect ,a bit lighter than I wanted, I’m really happy with it. I installed new fender flares as the old ones were already painted once and cracking badly. Planning on either swapping the spice top for a black one or just painting it black. The yellow paint was scraped off in long ribbons with a razor blade. I think it was multiple coats of house paint.

The color looks pretty good, and it will look a lot better when the top is painted black. I think it will look great! Why didn't you replace the rusted out fenders before painting? Just curious as that's a bit of a blemish.

I had to get the paint done before it got too cold. I plan on fixing the fenders this summer. I did it back in November.
