What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Rocket Man]

I decided to go ahead and “attempt” to paint the trim around 3rd brake light and Esky appliqués. I say attempt because I already know from previous try’s at painting that things never come out like they’re supposed to.

Trim by 3rd brake light

Passenger side applique

Driver side applique

Close up of driver side and the horrid job I did on my own!

Did you remove the parts to paint them? It makes it way easier!

 

[Bear77]

Yes, I had them off. Think my problem was that I didn’t really have a place to spray them or even the technique to do so

That’s why I haven’t tried. Lol
Thought about seeing if the maaco up the street would do it for cheap.

SN: one of my appliqués has a small crack. Would it be easier to buy new ones or try to fix that one.

Prep may of had an important part of it too! Did get some help from @Rocketman but as you can see, don’t think it helped me that much. No blame towards Mark, he tried his best!

Prep is key. And patience.

Lol I think that last part somehow flew off in the wind somewhere!

I am also not a good automotive painter. 100% understand.

Basically a hairline fracture but I I know eventually it’ll spread.

Do not like. I’d probably replace it myself. As long as you can fine one relatively cheap. Ebay.. local..

That’s what I was thinking too. And I lucked up on this black pair. Haha

What I would suggest is to find yourself the harbor freight super glue and gently follow along the crack. But then again, you already know the extent of my knowledge! Hopefully someone with more than myself will chime in and help out!

I would replace it. It would suck to fix it, go to all the trouble of painting it, and have it reappear.

What part of SC are you in?

Rock Hill... u?

If you have access to the back of it, get some Q-Bond and you won’t have to worry about it spreading. You can usually get it at most auto part stores.

It’s good stuff?

 

[Danny3737]

It really is. It has a powder that helps fuse broken pieces together. It comes with some really strong super glue and 2 bonding powders, one is for plastic and the other is for metal. When you put the liquid on top of the powder, you will see a little smoke as it reacts. It only takes about 10 seconds to cure depending on what you are doing. It’s what I used to fuse the Metra pocket to my console when I took the CD changer out. The first time I used it was to glue a nipple back on a vacuum actuator. They have a good video of it on YouTube. I always keep that and Plast-Aid always on hand. Check out the ratings on them.

Q Bond and a thin skin of Bondo. Should be good to go.

for some reason, I'm guessing shortage. This just started happening. The driver side turn signal is dim and on constantly. It works normal when i use the turn signals, it does not flash rapidly as if there was a bulb out. I know this dim light happened once before and came back to normal the next day.

Guess I'll have to check all the wiring.
