Yes escalade body side moldings. Just used my DA with 180, primed twice, painted, cleared. I do body work, so I just did this in between cars today.

I figure it's pretty much like a reverse escalade mirror, except it actually fits the belt molding. That was my one pet peeve about doing Escalade mirrors. That would bug the shit out of me. Anybody in Houston wants it done, I'll do it for $120. And give you a set of mirrors to use while I work on yours.

Where'd you get the Esky side mouldings and how much did it cost you? I might do these to my lifted Yukon. Been trying to find Denali color matched door moulding with chrome trim but can't find them anywhere.

I bought them from where I work. Well actually, I had the drivers side off of an escalade I worked on, where the insurance paid for replacement, so I only had to buy the passenger side. I'll get you a price on Tuesday. I do have a left front (I think, I'll have to check) Denali door molding in your color. I'll price those for you too, painted. I'm headed to NO this weekend, come on down lol
