Paint/Vinyl Work

[DaneS]

My wife wanted a louder exhaust and the chrome blacked out on her Denali so that was her anniversary present.

Shaved the badges and chrome strips, wrapped all the window and rear hatch chrome in black vinyl, painted the handles/grill/fog lights, and installed a Corsa sport cat back. I think it turned out pretty well. Definitely wish GMC didn’t pile on all the cheap-looking faux chrome on these trucks.

Looks good! Wifey has good taste. My wife would call that my anniversary gift, disguised as hers

Well since it’s her truck, she couldn’t say it was for me although she sure reminded me that I like working on vehicles more than shopping.

Anything's better than shopping. Unless its for cars...or trucks...or bikes...or wheels....or tools......

I got the black tips. It’s just more of a gray than real black.

It’s not terrible. If you have a second set of hands it would be a cakewalk. Definitely easier than painting would have been.

That looks great!! Much cleaner without all the badges and chrome trim. I think for her next birthday (or anniversary? lol) I'd suggest blacking out the white mirror panels, and putting black vinyl on the pillar between the rear door and rear side window to create a more unified black section. Sharp looking GMC!
