Yes, I did. Its part of what I do for a living. I painted just the headlamp park lamp bezels first and then a couple years later I did what you see now. About every two years I repaint the front end and pdr any door dings I aquire. Denali looks good!

Love the black front end....man I wish I knew how to paint because I'd love to do my whole front end black.....stopped at a few shops around here and everybody is scared to touch it---says the paint won't adhere well to the 'plastic-chrome'.......But that's cool-I gotta a good balance of black and chrome and my lower grille matches well....thanks for the compliments too ;)

Traditionally paint doesnt stick well to that type of substrate. It does chip easily and wants it starts then its just a matter of time before it spreads. I took alot of time prepping mine and then sprayed it with a chemical prep that promotes adhesion. Anyway, its worked pretty well the last four years. Lotta work but can be done.

Pretty much what I was told...about the chipping and the type of material that it is......Maybe down the road but for now my MOD fund is filling up for my next high dollar item....

Anyways....Props for all your hard work and execution ;)

What do you have planned? Performance? suspension? cosmetic ? Truck looks so clean! Especially for all the inclimate weather you have to deal with.

Got my eye on a Corsa Sport exhaust right now......then I gotta replace the rear shocks and compressor(gettin' pretty loud).

She sits in the garage mostly because I have a work vehicle for my daily duties...Winter has been light so far.......but she usually doesn't stay dirty for long regardless of the temperature;) A clean Denali is a happy Denali :D
