05Single's virgin build thread. 03 tahoe

Got bored. Dressed up the engine bay. Actually detailed it, I realized I haven't cleaned the engine bay since I got the truck 2 and a half years ago.
Used sharpie paint markers from home depot. Lightly wet sandy the letters and symbols that you 2ant to paint, that will create a surface for the paint to grip and a ledge so it doesnt drip over onto the surfaces you don't want to paint. I practiced on the 6.0 cover I had.

Before

After

But wait, there's more!!! (Billy Mays voice)

Then plastidipped the 3 piece cover with my custom cut 5.3 cover.
6 base coats of gunmetal gray.

3 coats of pearlizer and it creates a raw aluminium look. *Same effect if you used black as a base coat. The coverage is crazy quick, this is only after 1 coat.

Final coat

All silver looked weird

So with my steady hand I took to a big fat black sharpie. 2 coats was applied.

Also used my beast coloring skills on other parts in the bay.

Dip is the whip, I agree with it being a great invention, does get a lot of hate becuz in a who’s dick is bigger game, if it doesn’t cost 1 million dollars, its trash...lol. You already know I practically dipped everything on my NBS.

Threw a little color in there just to play with these markers and show you guys how the colors look. Also gives it a modern look.

Little details like the washer fluid symbol blue instead of white
