Well, I bit the bullet and dropped of my Esky vent appliqués and my new OEM Esky Rack end pieces to get color matched to my Tahoe Z71. My truck is Bermuda Blue Metallic, it is the one that has the pearl in it. They are charging a bit more than I would like to paint them, but they do really nice work. $250 to paint everything. I was going back and forth on leaving the appliqués black, but I think color matching them will look a lot better. Can’t wait to get them back, I reinstalled the Tahoe appliqués, I miss the esky apps already…

God I love that color. That's going to look great color matched!


I see you're in Galveston... I was down that way Saturday morning picking up my Craigslist find brushguard for my OBS

Nice. Im in Katy. $250 isn't terrible. At least you know it will be done right! Next time you need something painted hit me up, I work at a body shop in Jersey Village

$250 for a good paint job (esp matching your color with the pearl) isn't bad if it's quality work.

Make sure you pray that the metallic flake lays the same as the rest of the body. When I had my gas cap repainted bc of scratches, the flake layed different and in the right light and right angle looks totally diff colors
