08' Blacked Out Tahoe 24's, Recently Painted and Smoked

[miamidolphins561]

I've been meaning to update the thread...Below are a few iPhone photos I took after I had the grille, bow ties and tail lights painted. I decided to go matte with the bow ties and gloss with the OEM grille, I like the contrast. Went medium smoke on the tail lights and 3rd brake (left the reverse clear). I have yet to see this combo, for those who haven't seen my truck on the forum before, I have the 24 Marinello Platinum Escalade Replicas with the bow ties painted flat black, wrapped in 305/35/24 Cooper Zeon LTZs (All Terrain Tire). Will update with higher quality pics soon....

Looks good....love the matte emblems

Looks great! And the contrast looks good too, but for the tails I have mine tinted like that also

Great minds think alike

Emblems look good matte black.

Nice truck... I like the mate/gloss contrast. And those tires look great, how's the ride? What they cost you?

Looks great! Do you have an LTZ? Is that the LTZ factory grille just painted black, over the chrome? If so, what kind of paint? Now you just need to lower it a little and possibly black out those orange reflectors in the headlights.

Thanks for the kind words, been working hard to get her complete..although there's a few more things I wanna do.

ean: I meant the matte/gloss combo, not the clear reverse lights. Your truck is sick by the way, love those wheels on the white.

rob: The tires cost me about $1,300 with replacement warranty. More than I paid for the wheels (kinda ridiculous I know), but I wanted to go with a low pro with aggressive tread. The ride is smooth, a bit louder on the highway, but I feel more confident that the wheels won't bend.

Auto: The grille is just the plain factory that comes on the LT model, just did gloss over the plastic and chrome. I definitely want to black out the signals.


I'd still like to do a minimal drop, please give me any recommendations and what I should expect to spend.
I'd also like to paint the interior of the headlights black (around the lights...not smoked) Has anyone seen this? Pics? Does it look any better?

they are a little pricey but i love the look, i need to stop looking at this thread cus it's convincing me to buy some jajaj. on the drop.... i'm going with just a level on mine. norcalss quoted me on some springs or shock for like around 300.00, either or. i'm doing that when the time comes.

Lol oh ok man, thanks by the way. I have yet to see that combo either

I know I know.. reviving and old thread... I have to ask, with this tire setup and stock suspension is there any rubbing?
