I waited for it to dry on all my emblems and GMC emblem on the front but I also taped off and left a gap like everyone does. That worked great, but on the window trim I taped them off right against the chrome on the top because there isn't much of a line or anything for the dip to cut itself cleanly. If in situations where you tape it off real close to your line or can, its best to peel tape when its wet. It came off clean as a whistle, I've done it both ways just on the trim this worked alot better. I also only waited about 5-6 minutes in between coats this time with the trim, where as before I waited about 10 minutes or more between coats, so i'm sure some of your coats before were pretty well dry so that made a difference in it not coming off clean.

oh ok I had all the rest on so I didn't have any others to look at, it didn't look broken to me but I wasn't sure. thank you. Do you know what they should look like? I will make a trip to GMC and order some.

I just re-did it today and and did 3 coats and right after i sprayed the last coat i peeled the tape off and it worked perfect. The first time I did it I waited until all were dry and it didn't work well at all. peeling the tape off wet made it 10x better.

Yea i looked at that and they seem to be lined up, I'm thinking maybe i have bent the whole thing open somehow. In the process i messed up the black dip so tomorrow looks like im going to re-dip it and try again haha. Yes, if i ever do it again or give advice to anyone i would have rather left them on the truck and dipped them. Just mask everything off good which wouldn't be hard. Just make sure after your last coat you peel off the tape while its still wet so it doesn't try to pull it off when it dry's.

So I painted my window trim today black from chrome. I cannot for the life of me get the rear passenger side door to go back on? any tips or tricks? all the rest seem to go on fine, but this one just won't stay on. The clips aren't broken from what I can tell?

looks good!

That looks awesome, I actually liked the Cocoa/Dune interior only reason I didn't get it was for that exact reason I didn't want the seats that tan color. Good job!

I want to replace my reverse lights and my 3rd brake light to LED's, do you know if I need the CAN bus style lights or just the regular 921 LED style. 2017 GMC sierra SLT by the way. Also do i need the load resistor kit if I switch the front turn signal to LED?

Did this on my '17 right after I got home with it as well. All the same.

How did you plasti dip the lettering? just tape off a box around the letters and spray? do you just use an exacto knife to peel in between letters? Thanks and good looking ride by the way

the're actually 17's too by the way, didn't have my coffee yet this morning haha

personally I just went with a cognito motorsports leveling kit(because the're local and i support them) and put 18x9" wheels and 285/70 toyo open country tires and called it good, I think it looks more aggressive for sure but didn't dump a ton of money into it and stock they ride like a dream anyways so I didn't want to sacrifice. To me a 4' lift looks like every other truck dealers put a lift on and sell off the showroom floor and i'm not about that. anyways here is what my truck looks like.

I have the bed LED's already but I would like to add a second set up front? whats the easiest way to do it? hardwire since there isnt a second plug in the juction box? any help would be appreciated!! thanks

New here just wanted to add to the pics and check our everyone else's trucks!
