Brah I love me some 24x12s brodozer 4 lyfe

I'd like to stay a 16" or 18" wheel and preferably a factory one. Most likely keepin the PYOs and continuing on the 33s reverse level track. Currently was looking at MT Classic IIIs or similar style wheel.

Don't know if yall remember how my glove box looked before but this is a measurable improvement. SEM paint did wonders. Probably will do that dash bezel but for now this is much much better.
I ended up having to blend in that spot on the masking tape, made a massive line and looked like chit.
Also took the spare holder off and pulled the SLT badges

Ha! You sound like a body man with that "blending" vocabulary, LOL

On my 99 Silverado there's some touch ups on the bed where I masked and you can the big fat ridges! I did use 2k clear, but looks pretty bad. I didn't know what I was doing (before the era of mainstream YouTube &#128530

I do have some nasty door dings on my 06 Suburban I've been meaning to fix now, since I bought it. 🤕

You like the interior color spray bomb? 🧐

Yeah I used all the recommended products and it seemed to work wonders

I am on the fence about trying to paint stuff. I don’t know if I’d be any good at it and I don’t know if I’d enjoy it. I have places to do it I just worry it is going to suck lol

That's it's own little niche. You need a good 240V air compressor and a few decent spray guns and a DA and all the little specialized little things. A good space to work in also.

I did a fender and hood once and it turned out "okay", but it was for my beater K3500 so wasn't looking for museum quality, LOL. It still looks good after like 4 years. Better than a white hood and blue fender on a red truck.Of course, I'm the jack of all trades.

I suggest picking up a door or hood from the wrecking yard to practice. The temperatures this time of year are perfect for painting.
