Hey guys,
So, my used tahoe had a horrible paint job when I bought it (lots of photoshop makes it look good in photos but in real life the paint was way too heavily oxidized to be saved, even went to Adam's polishes here in Kuwait who are considered the top in the business here and they told me it's time for a new coat of paint). Having said that I bought this tahoe because everything else in it was pristine. The chassis, the gear, the engine were top notch and my garage said would be a great steal and not so expensive to repaint if you're not looking for the "factory" job.
So anyways, fast forward I took her in to paint. This is what she looked like before (with some heavy photoshop...)
This is what she looked like (dirty and with much less color correction in photoshop)...
And here is some stuff the paint shop sent over:
1) a video of them whilst sanding her down (don't think they finished but I kept bugging them for a video update so I can post about it haha)
2) A sample of the new shade of brown I chose
I'll update this thread hopefully when I pick her up. Should be before the end of this week. Will share some more pics by then. Oh and I went matte black on the wheels, I figured since she's in for a paint job, might as well...
