Hey all I picked up a black ‘18 2500 Denali the other day and want to get rid of some of the chrome, namely the grille surround piece. Previously I had a ‘15 Silverado that was white which I plastidipped the badges and it came out great however since it was white any black contrast looked great imo. Since my new truck is black I’d like the grille surround to have a gloss finish that’s as similar as possible to the actual gloss finish of the body itself. I’ve ruled out plasti dip with glossifier and am looking at the hyper dip products either piano finish or emerald or even possible a wrap. I’m not going to go the paint route in case I decide to sell it at some point as I know some people prefer all the chrome of a denali. Anyone have any thoughts or experience matching the gloss finish of the factory finish?

Hey all looking for some advice and hopefully pics of some custom front grilles and the bezel surround, I apologize if this topic has been beaten to death. 1- I’m about to get a 2017 HD Denali and was thinking of trying to blackout a bit of the chrome in the front. After looking for options I wasn’t all that happy with what I found…. Pretty much plastidip, sand it down and use a rattle can, or take it to a paint shop but from what I read the paint doesn’t adhere all that well. Hopefully someone has some insight on an option that would match the black of the truck so it looks factory. 2- I bought the wife a 21 Tahoe and it has the light up bow tie in the grille which looks really smooth, I was thinking of doing the same on my truck. Any recommendations on kits? thanks for your time and hopefully grille pics

Looking for some advice.... I just picked up a 2015 Silverado 1500 the other day and the leveling kit, wheels, tires are going on next week. I won't be using the truck to tow often but I'll have a couple dirtbikes in the back ocassionally. When the truck will have a load I'd like to keep the leveled stance. Has anyone put airbags in the back just for this type of application? If so any pros or cons? I'm not looking for an elaborate remote system or anything just a very basic setup if there is such a thing. Thanks in advance
