Painted vent caps

[Yuk_Nali_6.0]

I wanted to buy the smooth vent caps but decided to have my stockers painted for now since it was much cheaper. Mine were fading pretty bad and this was a great improvement. The body shop only charged me $50.

you know there used to be a thread on TF.com that had a how to on smoothing them out yourself....

[Yuk_Nali_6.0]

Yeah I remember reading that thread and thinking "I'll never get mine to look worth a crap". LOL

[danimalmax]

that looks really good, i wonder if mine painted black like yours would look alright with light pewter metallic body paint

[Yuk_Nali_6.0]

I'm sure it would look fine, but painting them body color would look best!

[danimalmax]

but i like the look of the side rear windows and the rear window appearing to flow all around, you know

Yea I know what you mean...Just paint your 'hoe black and you can have it both ways =)

Looks good man. Definitely a lot better than the stock finish.

Thanks Blue! Now I just need to install my LED taillights that arrived yesterday! I don't think I can wait until father's day to open 'em =(

I went with Esky corners and had them painted, but I think anything body colored
is what really does the trick.

The Denali should really come from the factory, or should have, I guess, with the vents painted. I wonder if Dupli-color and 4 or 5 clearcoats would get it looking pretty good? I have black too, but its an 02.

$50 is a steal. I lvoe the look of painted vent caps on these t rucks in black...any other color looks weird to me though...

[Yuk_Nali_6.0]

Yes I want them...lets trade =)

[jmildoc]

where do you get the smooth ones from? why do they have vents in them anyways?


So this isnt a paint yourself job?

Your painted vent caps look great!

I just bought white Escalade rear vent caps and painted them black to match my ride and they turned out pretty good. I will post pics up soon.

[wmgood64]

they look great!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys!

Popped the vent cherry tonight after one last read up...even though despite my research I KNOW i paid too much. PSA - Street scene does not sell directly! Went through Summit and got em @ a staggering $160!

At least my brother works at a paint shop...MAYBE he'll cut me a deal.
