Looks good! so what paint did you end up using?

 

[treehan77]

Olympic White and an SEM 1K clear in a rattle can. But not Dupli-Color, it wasn't even close. I had an automotive paint supply shop mix a pint up for me, then used their little bottle sprayer. These sprayers are kinda cool, just pour the paint in and an aerosol top makes it like a spray can. 6 bucks for the sprayer thing. Still don't know why dupli-color was so far off, but they are at least refunding my money. Too bad they can't refund my extra painting and sanding time. and of course some crap got in the paint this time, whereas my first attempt was damn near perfect. oh well.

Good to know. It was 6 bucks with the paint? Or 6 for the sprayer thing? I got a hvlp spray gun I can use... but not sure what a place would charge to mix up some paint.

The sprayer was like 6 bucks. The can of clear was 20 bucks, so the pint of mixed paint was about 20-25 bucks. Expensive but i was not wanting to waste my time and money on non-matching AGAIN

Looks nice. I need to peel the plasti-dip off mine and color match them. What's the paint code for a 04 black yukon?

 

[4WDTRK]

Came out great, looks factory in the pics!

 

[sbubbaklein]

looks nice, I had trouble matching end caps on my esky rack and ended up having body shop spray them. Also did SS bumper cover so no extra charge for caps

Looks good!

I have a white 04 Tahoe and want to paint a few things too... How do I find my color code?

I looked it up by year make and model on their site sbubbakein

Sanded them down a lot with 600. Resprayed base coat and cleared again. A lot more happy with the results. I now realize I was the issue the whole time. I decided to paint the roll pan as well, but I used duplicolor lacquer instead. Sprayed over the black and looked awful, again new to painting. Sanded it all back down, sprayed whole pan flat white, because I had it. Then, sprayed three cans (one 8 oz. can per coat) of Chevy 39 blue over then cleared with two cans
