Had a few hours to kill today before the big family dinner so I cleaned up the truck...once it snows here in a few weeks it goes in the garage for the winter. I had it colormatched back in May but never posted pics; I threw in a pic of it when it was bone stock the day I got it for comparison's sake.http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o...&addtype=local

Wow! That looks great! I love the way SOM and Indigo Blue both just pop in the sunlight. I might have to paint my factory bowtie, looks good painted in the tahoe shell.

Thanks, they're the factory black plastic mirrors, just painted...I had to buy new caps because the tabs on the originals broke when they were removed.

so they're not smoothed at all, how did the painted get the paint to "stick" to the textured plastic

They were sanded a little, but not all the way smooth. I believe he used a filler primer, they feel smooth and shine/wax just like the rest of the truck. They've held up great, no chips or anything, even driving on the gravel road into my work. The valence was painted the same way and is still mint. My painter (who I've used for 10+ years) is a stand-up guy...he knows he'll be re-doing stuff if it doesn't hold up so I trust his work.

Lookin' smooooth. Like the front end. A tiny drop a rollpan would clean things up even more though IMO.

Thanks...yeah, I'm stuck on what do w/ the rear. I like the pans but people here drive like idiots...the rear bumper's been tagged a couple times already. I'd like to have the black plastic painted to match (I've seen it on few trucks) but I'm not sure how it'd hold up with stuff flying up from the back wheels and me stepping on the bumper to get stuff out of the bed (I still use it as a truck...sometimes, LOL.)
