The De-badging/De-molding is dones, now I think its time to Rhino Line the Bottom

 

That looks great! I especially like it without the molding. How did you remove the molding? Was there any difference in the paints shade that was under the molding?

Thank You

 

I just removed it using a heat gun, fishing line, and a plastic scraper, plus 3M adhesive remover, 3M adhesive Remover Wheel, a 3 Step polishing systems, and lots and lots of patients.

No there was no difference in paint shades. But I did run into a couple other problems. When I removed the passenger side first, I noticed some bubbling paint. My paint guy said that it looks like that door was repainted and it was done poorly. Then I went back and forth whether or not I was going to do the other side, or put the molding back on. I decided to remove the other side and when I did I noticed a nice dent in the side, and I somehow scratched my paint taking the molding off of the rear driver side door. IDK how I did it, I have de-badged/de-molded a bunch of vehicles and never had a problem. Thats why Im thinking about doing the rhino lining on the bottom.

 

If you are interested in doing it there are tons of videos and walkthroughs online that will help you out. Just be very careful.

His didnt leave a ghost line but yours probably will, my 7 year old truck has a faint ghost line.

That's what I'm afraid of, and I really don't want that to be the result.

    • I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob
    • Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.
    • Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks. 
    • There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.
    • Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
