Yeah, I have to agree with Wendy on this one - I've worked in a high end decal/wrap/tint shop for over 6 years. That unit is definitely dipped or wrapped - My money is on wrap. I can spot a wrap a mile away.

Sometimes two miles on a clear day.

I have no reason to doubt the owner in fact what difference does it make. I on the other hand don't have the balls to paint how much would it run to wrap?

We usually don't do jobs that large - our usual customers are sports cars, high end exotics or rally/track only cars. That being said, we have done several trucks.

 

It really depends on how detailed you want the job done. If you only want externally visible panels - Around $4,500. If you want to go all out for door jambs and such, closer to $6,000. Just takes a lot more time, and a lot of the pieces have to be cut by hand.

 

With quality material, a wrap like that could easily stand up to a few winters of abuse, before showing signs of wear.

I am actually in the market for a wrap. I wasn't convinced they keep the paint good but I was at a wrap shop while they pulled a 4 year old wrap off and the paint looked great! I want something different and not the normal flat black.

Well that's expensive for a wrap, and I doubt it will ever be as clean as a real paint job. I know a lot of people that do professional auto painting and for me they'll do my truck for no more then 3gs.

attachicon.giftruck01.jpg Got the wheel moldings color matched

Looks great. I hate the plastic mouldings. How did you have it done? How much? Edited by ahahnu

You can buy the color keyed wheel mouldings from GM.

Last I looked they only sold certain colors. Just checked again and only black, white, red, and prime. Stealth Gray isn't on the list, hence how did he do it?

Sonoma red, white diamond, summit white, Onyx Black, quicksilver and Prime-paint to match.

 

Paint to match is $200 cheaper than the colored. ones.

It's cheaper to paint the ones you already have on the truck. The dealership where I bought it painted the 4 moldings and the front fascia around the towhooks for $210.00

Brought it to them in the morning and picked them up installed on the truck the next morning. without my truck 1 day.

Just traded my 2014 High Country for this 2015 LTZ last night. It's the University of Texas Edition, but I pulled the stupid looking stickers off. I actually like the way this one drives compared to the High Country. a27f77457a44cded5c9ba8394b94069c.jpg

I'm not being hateful, truck looks great, I just really don't think its painted. You should snap some pictures of the door jambs though.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.

      It was all part of the tiny bit of fuel savings it goes towards what was mandated by the government. Much like cylinder deactivation. That was relaxed by the recent administration. All that doesn’t help the individual buyer. But as a whole helps the manufacturer to try to reach the previous ridiculous past mileage per gallon mandate. So yes it was mandated and added cost to the vehicle.

      You do realize that auto stop/start...was never mandated by the fed...right?     EPA Says It's 'Killing' Stop-Start, and Here's What Automakers Have to Say   "Start‑stop technology has never been federally mandated, and the EPA’s recent action removes regulatory incentives associated with it rather than prohibiting its use."

      Anytime the government mandates something, you can bet on it being absolutely senseless.

      just logged my best MPG for one leg this am - drove home from the Denver Airport, 45 min drive - all freeway, lots of traffic so speeds were limited and some stop and go, got 17.7 for the ~30 mile trip.
