Blacked out the Z71 trim! Much Better!

Looks awesome. I have a white 03 tahoe... i don't have the trim on the side, but would be interested in doing the grill and bowtie. You left them on the vehicle and used tape (painters tape?) and regular spray paint?

thanks

Yup, you could lightly sand, but I just bought some spray with primer in one and just taped and did it. Came out good! But if you wanted to take off the entire grill its really easy. Open the hood undo 7 clips to take off top engine wind cover then 1/4 turn 4 grill clips and take the horizontal grill ends and push in towards center and then pull out! Haha! It's that easy to be safe!

All you need to do is wipe the pieces down with alcohol or something thatll get rid of any contaminants and paint it with krylon fusion paint. Thats all i did for my plastics. No sanding required.

Did you use a clear coat or just the paint?

When i did mine i did 4 coats of paint and 2-3 coats of clear.
