Custom paint, color thoughts?

[shundal]

Man I keep looking at this truck and love the color.. I just got a price on doing a grey or black wrap or any color I want 1500 out the door.

That is a really good price. Is that including wrapping the door jambs as well? I was quoted $1500 for just labor , with me providing the material. If I wanted to have the jambs wrapped it was another $350. I ended up just selling the roll cause it got pricey. Since my tahoe is white, the doors would look horrible when opened if not wrapped as well. But, since your Tahoe is black it might not be too noticeable.


At $1500 out the door, your should really consider it!

Expensive it was, strut was the only one I could find that offered a grille for the platinum. Forgiato supposedly had one but it was for a non-platinum. I'm hoping to do something about the foglights though, too much chrome showing, may do a projector in since I have a set of cobalt fogs just laying around

Did you have to cut the factory platinum grille out? or did it just un-bolt off?

Light output didn't change at all honestly, all I did was paint the housing and slightly smoke the lens on both headlights and fogs. I added 6K on both top and bottom, I can't complain at all about it

I'm thinking about adding an led bar behind the grille, but I'm worried that it'll look tacky since you can see right thru the mesh

those are just the stock esky projector headlights right? not the platinum LED projector headlights?

Roll pan looks good from back but a little odd from the side
BTW how much did a full paint job cost you?

Yeah i know that is for everything. I know the guy that owns his own shop that does it. So he is hooking me up. So really thinking about doing it next summer.

No cutting, the strut grille went right into the factory mounting holes

Yes they are stock projector headlights, the platinum LED headlights I didn't like...I've had them before but they just don't light up anywhere near as much as the regular projectors

The paint was $3500 for everything but the grilles which were powdercoated

And what all prep went into that is it supposed to last a lifetime?

 

[escahoe07]

Everything in the paint process is the same as if you were to paint it a gloss color, only difference is instead of gloss clear they used a flat clear. So there isn't any cut corners at all besides there is no sanding and buffing after painting. And yes warranty for as long as I own it

Aite I was just wondering cause it looks good and after awhile everyone needs a paint job.
