and did you tape it off? if so did the tape come off without issue afterwards, no idea how tough that stuff set's up and if I end up having to use a razor knife to get any tape off
I used 3 cans total. I masked off the entire car except the painted area. The tape is super easy to get off and you shouldn’t have any issues with it. Definitely mask off as much as you can as it is not as friendly with overspray as say plasti dip.

I taped mine off. Pulled that tape about 20 minutes after the last coat. Edges turned out fine.
I see I was looking at the rolll on stuff. didn't see it came in a aerosol also
From what I have seen, it’s difficult to get the roll on stuff on evenly.
i'll just buy the aerosol, I need to hit up harbor freight and get a plastic sheet and just cover the whole truck except what I cut and tape off for the roof
not going to remove the rack I just need to cover the center where I scratched it up already will look better than trying to just rattle can some paint on it.
maybe I can hit it with white paint afterwards to deflect heat or some thing that doesn't look hideous. black is not bad but it's already hot as hell around here
Yea mine looked super beat up. Plus lots of holes from being a PPV. Looks a whole lot better now. Post You should post some before and after pictures when you finish. Where do live? It’s hot as hell here in Houston also.
I am in the central valley of California, it's a smidge cooler than redding or bakersfield but not by much, they call it "mediterranean" still mostly hot as balzz in the summer
Could it possible be worse than Houston lol? The humidity here makes the summer heat stick to you.
I would guess it is comparable heatwise, humidity here is rare maybe if it is overcast and hot, we get some humiditiy in the fall/spring but it's not normally all that hot then.
nothing like the east coast, gaah I wouldn't want to live there ever....
I decided to replace the outer tie rods ends because the boots were looking worn. I replaced them with the MOOGs and while doing it, saw that my inner rods were toasted as well. So then I had to order some MOOG inner ones and replace those. On to the alignment shop next.

I finally changed out the front struts, rear springs and shocks and bump stops. I converted it from PPV to a civilian suspension and it raised the car 2-3 inches for now. According the to the wife, the ride quality went from 2/10 to 9/10 with the new suspension and tie rod ends. The steering wheel is super firm and tight and the car soaks up the bumps. Took about 3 hours to do (cleaning every old surface with a wire brush and brake clean)and no spring compressor was needed.

Thank you. Just got back from an impromptu trip to Dublin Ohio to pick up another weekend toy ( a low mileage glacier white on red 6 speed 2015 Audi S4; already have a 2014 S4 with a DSG). Put about 7k miles on the Tahoe in two weeks. Sitting at 189,500 miles now. Zero hiccups on my road-trips from the Tahoe. I love it more and more every time I drive it.
