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

[Rocket Man]

I decided to go ahead and “attempt” to paint the trim around 3rd brake light and Esky appliqués. I say attempt because I already know from previous try’s at painting that things never come out like they’re supposed to.

Trim by 3rd brake light



Passenger side applique



Driver side applique



Close up of driver side and the horrid job I did on my own!

Did you remove the parts to paint them? It makes it way easier!

Yes, I had them off. Think my problem was that I didn’t really have a place to spray them or even the technique to do so

That’s why I haven’t tried. Lol
Thought about seeing if the maaco up the street would do it for cheap.

SN: one of my appliqués has a small crack. Would it be easier to buy new ones or try to fix that one.

Prep may of had an important part of it too! Did get some help from @Rocketman but as you can see, don’t think it helped me that much. No blame towards Mark, he tried his best!

Prep is key. And patience.

Lol I think that last part somehow flew off in the wind somewhere!

I am also not a good automotive painter. 100% understand.

Basically a hairline fracture but I I know eventually it’ll spread.

Do not like. I’d probably replace it myself. As long as you can fine one relatively cheap. Ebay.. local..
