Ok well today I finally got the parts I needed painted, which consist of my Esky Rack and Esky vents. Color matched them today from Escalade Black to Tahoe Indigo Blue.

Looks ok. I think you need to get them re- cleared. They don't look as glossy as the body. Overall though, looks good. Nice investment.

I didn't even notice at first, but yeah I think you're right. Still looks good though, bud!

Haha we'll see how it looks tomorrow with more daylight.
I only paid $40 to get everything painted. Am sure he can give it an other coat of clear for free, heck even 2 or 3 if needed.

Overall to get my esky rack for $100 and the real esky vents and not some wanna be copies/replicas for $20 and paint everything for $40 is a killer of a deal.

whered you get the rack for that cheap...?!

Bumped into a guy locally that had an 03 wrecked from the front and was selling most parts. By the time I got to him back that night and the next day I got the rack and vents. Everything else was either sold or spoken for.

Guess so, just a matter of finding people that are not greety with high prices. This guy had the insurance paid the escalade off and they allowed him to keep it too to junk it.. so sold most if not all parts at great prices.
