I tried my luck on body work last weekend. I had these horrible deep scratches at the bottom of my 06 Suburban door and a nasty dent near the handle. I took off the door, did body filler, primer, base and clear.
I had to go buy one of those 3M wheels to remove the adhesive from the door trim.
It came out a little orange-peel on the clear, but decent. I used the mid-grade HVLP HF gun for everything. I was supposed to use my other HTE gun I have for the clear only as it atomizes better, but didn't feel like getting another gun dirty. It's certainly better than before...

Yup cut and buff it will look like a mirror and put the rest of the truck to shame. Then you'll have to paint it all

Thanks! She tried to drive it to work, Friday last week, and she got "reduced engine power" again. I did get a reader on it, and the knock sensor circuit has low voltage on it. So I think there's a parasitic draw, somewhere -- likely a corroded and/or partially broken wire.

How much of a difference did the Killmat make? I'm planning to do the same thing to mine over the winter.

Drove it this morning, started in "reduced engine power mode." So I stopped, reset the codes with my scanner, and drove on like nothing was broken. Funniest "repair" I've ever made.

Used the Escalade to tow last night. Used a U-Haul car hauler and moved a 2008 Honda Pilot. I miss the weight of the 2500s when towing, but otherwise that Escalade never missed a beat. It was really impressive.
