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

[brian.roberts.1293]

Well I bought a used torque10fx digital DA polisher and some things to go with it to help bring my suburbans paint back to life some and get rid of the ghost lettering from debadging the truck. I hope it turns out good. Maybe get to start this weekend.

It's only about 2.5 x 2.5 inches and I may do a cast in black plastic.
I was in Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 504th Infantry

Thanks for your service!

When I wrap the hood should I sand and primer it for a smoother finish? The clear is peeling.

I'm no point Guy but if it was my truck I would light sand it back to where there was no clear peeling up then wrap it.

Agreed. Get everything as smooth as possible. Whatever imperfections there are will show through the wrap, especially if you're doing a black wrap.

Finished the grill/headlight conversion. Shot black VHT on all the areas behind the grill, soldered the LED DRL wires, and used all new bulbs. May paint the grill to match when it goes for paint job.

Thanks guys. I'll hit it with probably 600 or 800 grit then see how it looks

Wrap is just like painting- whatever is there for the base determines what the finished product looks like and how long it lasts. If you wrap peeling clear, the wrap will peel since that’s what it’s adhered to. If it’s not smooth or has any dents , even tiny ones, it will show.

I was gonna say you should paint the grille surround and leave the middle black. Maybe a border around the lights that match
