Got rid of the shale color headliner that gm loves to use. So the headliner accessories couldn't be left that color

What type of paint did you paint those with?

I did something similar in my brother's car in high school. I used a switch from a higher-optioned model to replace a blank so it appeared factory-original and was hidden in plain sight. The switch was originally a push on/push off style. I took it apart to remove the latching part to make it momentary.

The car was a '93 Sundance, so this wasn't for anti-theft. The ignition switch was jacked up so this was my free/Saturday afternoon solution. Turn the key to "on" and press the secret switch.

This reminds me of a 1985 Oldsmobile 98 that I once had. Something was messed up with the starter circuit, it wasn't enough current to actually engage the starter for some reason. I routinely had to reach under the car and jump the starter with a screwdriver after turning the ign switch to the run position. I got tired of doing that so I wired a pushbutton to start it. A few months later, I ended up rewiring it again because I was getting annoyed having to use the button to engage the starter. Since the ign actually did work in the Start position (just REALLY low current for some reason) I ended up wiring a relay in place of the pushbutton, with the ignition switch triggering the relay. So after all that, it actually functioned like factory again.

Like @Rocket Man I tried several different methods (including plasti dip) and nothing held up. Four years ago, I had a body shop I use on a regular basis treat and paint both front and back to eliminate the chrome. Still holding up and looks great today. Sometimes it is worth to have someone else do the work.View attachment 393960

Looks great! Nice Tahoe!

Fresh oil makes a 5.3 happy!

Oil and filter yesterday. NAPA gold 1042 (by WIX Part # 51042), NAPA synthetic blend 6qts. 5W-30 (by Valvoline Part #: 75055) for $45.

Checked fluids. Added a little coolant (it might have burped another air bubble after replacing my T fitting this past summer).

Runs great!!!
