What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[02_Tahoe]

The mirrors turned out much better. The clear coat has the orange peel finish but I'll fix that in about 5 days when it's cured. I took a different approach at the mirrors than I did at the bumper so I'll fix my write up tonight and put what I did this time. Main difference was I used filler primer instead of adhesive promoting primer

Surprising how much of a difference that makes, looks great.

Painting the whole mirror assembly vs just the cap turns out so much cleaner.

I did the same and have been very happy with it since I had it done.

Nice work.

Can you take some more close-up pictures?

I will tomorrow, by time the other mirror dried enough for me to put it on it was too dark to get a good picture. I don't have school tomorrow cause if spring break so hopefully I can get a pic of it in the mid day sun.

I'm glad I did these instead of getting the tow mirrors. These were hard enough to prep.

Yep nice call. I like our OEM mirrors better IMO over the tow mirrors.

How did they dry? If they're still a little tacky, and you drive, they could get a little messed up. Bugs, debris etc can damage them or stick to them.

That's why I didn't drive. I let it dry to where I wouldn't get finger prints on them and I'm going to let them sit overnight

Touch them tomorrow before you drive. Depending on humidity, they could still be a little tacky.
