Blacked out grill

[chevyboy23]

So Im thinking about blacking out my grill and emblem. Kinda skeptical about doing it though. My hoe is the. Taupe metallic gray color and I'm just not sure if that would flow right. Maybe if I was to debadge it, the chro,e wouldn't throw it of so much. Your thoughts?

PlastiDip it and then if you don't like it you can easily remove it.

That is an option

This.

I'm getting ready to do mine too but my truck is black so I know I want it.

No Brainer Here. Black is a easy decision.

Taupe Grey is one of my Favorite colors.

We will see. A small mod can make a big difference.

My tahoe isn't your color but goodinblack's color and I have a black emblem on mine with the badges still on.

And to add, I think the matte finish of the Plastidip would look and compliment your taupe metallic gray nicely.

I'm thinking about it. Really wanna do something to it. Might buy a spare grill to play with and see how it works out.

Why? Plastidip just peels right off. No damage.

Yes, I did my rear Bowtie twice in 2 days. The first try had a small fruit fly type fly land in it.

No one else saw it except me........ but I saw it, so off it came.

Black it out & ALL the shiney stuff! Rattle canned mine.

Looks tight.....can't wait to get the ball rolling on my stuff.

Nice job goodinblack! I would be particular about something like that too.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to PD something tomorrow! Might have to make good use of my lunch break...

Here's some motivation for ya guys:

Macho, did you clear your headlights?

 

[chevyboy23]

That's looks real sweet. I see a project next time I'm off. How do you pop off the rear bowtie?

For plastidipping, there's no need to take it off. Simply mask around it with painters tape and newspaper (not always necessary). Then spray right onto the emblem. Shouldn't take long to do this mod.

Nope just stock. They still have the amber side markers. I didn't get a before photo so I copied one from online to show the difference. Now that you point it out the turn signals on the truck in the "before" photo DO look more yellow than my stock. Must be a difference in the photo or the year maybe?

Here's one where you can see the side marker

You can see what the masking and peeling looks like

Macho,


I wanted your opinion on this. I too have a Black Tahoe and I'd like to black out my grill as well. I wanted to know if you or any one in this forum has purchased a black grill form ebay. Ex. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-2012-C...l:Tahoe|Year:2009&hash=item19e83bf5c4&vxp=mtr


I was thinking about buying this but wasn't sure how difficult it would be to install.
Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks,
Phil
