Got sidetracked with the A/C tick under the hood, but will deal with that issue too - belt or tensioner is TBD.
I pulled a few things apart that I have been meaning to get to in terms of little details. So I washed the Suburban and kicked the wife out of the car port again.
1. Wiper arms are off for a fresh coat of paint and might as well put on some new wiper blades too. I picked up a puller from Pep Boys for $8 and it was worth it. Both arms were stuck on the splines for 10 years and a little bit of rust.
2. Removed the cowling under the wipers and I was thinking about giving that a coat of paint like I did to the rear bumper plastic. Those are the only 2 pieces left on the truck that are not color matched. I already cleaned the cowling with some APC.
Should I paint the cowling or just leave it as is?
3. I pulled the bowtie up front as it needs a refresh. It was silver Plasti Dip from way too long ago and dull. I was thinking of going with silver/aluminum paint and gloss clear to pick up the wheels.
or
Do I go with chrome or billet to match the polished grille?
or
Do I color match it, although it may just get lost if it is CM?
Input on the above welcomed. Thanks.
