Here's this Silverado in your color. The valance is still black/grey but I think the pic is dark enough makes it looks somewhat color matched. Imagine that with the lower air dam attached :thumbsup:

I have to agree I think if you are wanting to keep the chrome bumper you need to paint both the air dam and lower valance a nice deep black or paint the valance blue then leave the lower valance black. Either way it looks great just getting nit picky.

Thank you sir. Nit picky is welcomed and appreciated. I know it will look great and the opinions are helpful. Sometimes even the little changes can make the biggest transformations. Even something as small/large as a valance color that sets off the front end even more with the grill and cap. Thx guys.

Thx OHSIXX. You had good input with the last PTM parts. I also like the way NS's front paint scheme came out. The paint arrives tomorrow, so Thursday the parts go to the painters.

:Handshake: You have got a good eye for what looks good so I'm sure it will look :boobs:

I vote color match, not a Tahoe but you can see how my valence looks painted to match.

Paint arrived last night from Automotive Touch Up. The valance is off and headed to the painters with the bumper cap and rear Esky appliqués this morning.

I'm going to PTM the valance for now and leave the bumpers chrome. See how it looks. I will update the results with pictures in my build thread. Should be in 2 weeks as I have to go out of town. Perfect time to leave the front end dismantled.

Thx guys again your input. Much appreciated.

So you guys think color match the front chrome bumper. Leave the valance black. The air dam can stay or go (not sold yet on how it looks), but if stays on then it remains black like the valance? I know they appear different colors for some reason in the photos, but can work on that as needed.

What about the rear chrome bumper? Does that stay chrome or color match? Then the only chrome at that point will be the Esky roof rack.

Thx guys your input.
Man leave your chrome alone paint all plastics blue to match. That is a fresh clean subtle stock/custom look. You want that lil chrome to stay bright. Only looks right if your all black(murdered out). Plus just having chrome esky rack would look like an after thought. Unless you wanna sell it to me. LoL.

Check his other thread man. It’s a full color match and probably the best looking nbs out there


Thx man. I just reread this thread from 3 years ago!! Wow! How far the Tahoe has come and 4 pages waffling over CMing. Lol

Below was a good model of inspiration and it was already posted twice in this thread so here’s the hat trick. @NeverSatisfied

:cheers:
