I thought about doing the black grills, but with the dark headlights it might look too dark on the front. I still have hints of chrome on the vehicle, but mostly just the horizontal strips (roof rack, door handles, protection panels, running boards) and with the dark headlights the chrome grills look OK.

A dark grill on mine may look OK if I get a chrome GMC emblem instead of the black one I currently have. That may look good on an entire dark front end.

I just can't stand chrome on my cars.

I hate chrome wheels and was ecstatic when I got different ones. The rest of the stuff on the sides of mine are thin and not worth the time or money to change it.

The grill on the other hand is huge and the chrome finish is flaking off the lower grill. I'd paint them but with my luck it'd start fading or peeling in a year or so and look shittier then the OE chrome, lol

Gotta say I really like that look. Those smoked headlights and the fact that they’re the sierra style I think really ties it all together. Looks sharp.

I didn't think about that. you're right with the lights.


I'm pretty anti chrome and was going to black out all the side stuff when I got it. but I got lazy and it doesn't bother me much anymore.



I do dislike chrome wheels, except on blue cars for some reason.

How's the boat running?

Pretty good!
the cheap amazon prop has been serving me well, and I got a nice boost in power after giving the engine the full 8 degrees of timing vs the 6.

I have already gone through a solid 50+ gallons of fuel, I'm about to top it off again for this next weekend's outing.
:yaoface2:


Still little issues to deal with, but for now I'm choosing to enjoy the boat.
later I can deal with the other "30-year-old boat" issues.

You might want to try an adhesion promoter on the chrome or metal and then hit it with some Raptor paint. I did this on anything shiny and repainted everything on my 07 Tahoe and it has held fast. Here is the product link… https://u-pol.com/en-us/brands/raptor/
