So... keeping with the Escalade rear theme with my truck, I decided to do the chrome Escalade Applique. However, I didn't want the Cadillac wreath on it.
When you carefully pull the wreath and the black pastic oval off, it look like this...
Carefully pulled the wreath off the black plastic oval, and this is what it looks like...
So, even lightly sanding that down, you can't get it smooth and OEM looking like I want it. So I shipped the oval off to Brandon (Young28) and he made me a metal oval.
Had the oval painted gloss black, and put it back on the Applique.
Had the GMC logo stuck on and put the Applique on my truck yesterday. The logo is just a sticker, but it's outlined in chrome with color matched GMC lettering

And a pic of the rear of an Ecalade to show you the similarities...
