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

[HiHoeSilver]

The plan is to install the Denali rear and satin black the existing gray trim pieces....

 

[Rocket Man]

Gave the hitch a couple coats of satin black and the Denali skin some gloss white. The match seems good and I didn't want to waste actual CM paint on a plastic part.... We'll see.... View attachment 179841 View attachment 179842

But that plastic part is a pretty good piece of your rear end. If my plastic parts weren't colormatched my rig would look like sh*t. That's not a waste of CM paint my friend.

The rustoleum 2x gloss white is pretty f'in close, bro.

I went for a short drive today...

(Traverse City, MI to Tahquamenon Falls in the U.P. if you can't tell)

Saw a bridge

(twice)

Saw lots of Tahoes, Yukons, and Suburbans...

And I saw a waterfall.

Best of all, I got 17.59 MPG for the round trip.

I hate close when it comes to paint. Always catches my eye but it's your rig! If it doesn't bother you that's all that matters. I even had to have my body guy blend my hood to my fenders because I could see a slight difference. Same when he painted my rear hatch after I shaved the wiper.

Lots of times even from the factory the paint is slightly off on plastic compared to steel panels. Bothers me too.

Finally finished installing the new black carpet, all the wiring for the stereo and full Escalade interior swap

I agree with you and should've worded all this differently from the beginning. I was worried about wasting the expensive paint due to it not sticking to the plastic, so I tested the white I had on a little spot. It was so close that I decided to just go ahead and do it. I figured worst case, I'll just do it over.

Went for a drive. 80 mph was getting 15.2 mpg with 6 people in the truck and loaded with over night bags ! 500 miles round trip was a good ride.

Got it. The paint will stick to the plastic just fine though as long as you prep it right, especially since it's already been painted. You won't be painting to the plastic, you'll be painting to the primer as long as you don't sand all the way through. Good luck with whatever you do, hope it comes out great.

I gave it a looksy this morning. I think it's gonna be good. I'll mess with it more after work today. The question now will be whether I need to paint the black parts so the match the gray ones I'm gonna turn black...? I think I'll pull one gray piece and hit the back of it with the black to see how they match up. Would be nice to just leave the black Denali pieces alone.

I've seen that bridge and waterfall! I love the U.P.! I lived in the Auburn Hills area for a couple of years a few years ago... May be moving back up there again soon (auto industry work related).

We'll have to meet up if I do...

I got my fire extinguisher mounted in the back. And finally decided to remove the Denali door badges. Still need to remove a little more stubborn adhesive and polish the area up a bit, but I'm already glad I took them off.

Those are the only badges I wanted on mine but mine are kind of rare black ones. Then I added SUPERCHARGED over the top of the Denali in black also. Perfect.

I've thought about getting the black Denali badges. I'm still considering it. I'm glad I ditched the chrome ones though.

Black would look good with the blacked out look
