Got the wild idea to swap the Bvlgari analog clock from an Escalade into my Denali. Center console also got repainted. It was a little more involved than I expected... had lots of intimate time with my Dremel lol. And yes I still have one trim piece left to install around the storage doors.

The faux wood grain can be removed and painted too. That’s what I did. I was never a fan of it.

I actually really like the ash wood grain the Denalis have so I went to painstaking efforts to disassemble it all so I could get just the gray pieces to paint. What paint did you use? Yours has a bit of shine to it.

Ah ok. Wonder how close of a match it is to the factory color.
It’s not. At one time, I did like you did and painted just the center areas. I matched it with a Dupli-Color that says matches F**d colors but it’s a perfect match for the Denali console and dash bezel. Take a part of your console trim with you to anywhere that sells that brand, I think I found it at Napa and match it to the cap because they don’t have names on the cans except what I mentioned. This is the can.

Yeah that’s what I used. It’s a pretty close match. Not perfect but I think it’s as close as I’ll get without spending a ton.

This abs/brake light thing is annoying me now. I googled and I read something about there might be a TSB about it. Anyone know? Or a list of TSB's for our gmt 800's?
Keep getting these codes--C0269 C0227 C0226

The first code is #3 cylinder having a fuel-related problem and the other 2 are TPS sensor issues. Didn’t you have an ongoing TPS problem causing reduced engine power? You should buy a subscription to www.alldatadiy.com, it’s cheap and it’s like having the service manual only it’s online so it’s super easy to use. It covers TSB’s and troubleshooting them, wiring diagrams, etc etc. It’s really worth the $30 a year.
