Hey I recently put the new style tow mirrors on my truck and am looking to vinyl wrap the chrome pieces to color match them. Has anyone used and found a wrap that is pretty close to the silver ice metallic color yet?

Not sure on wrap but someone earlier in this thread used plastidip with a white base and then a silver over that on his bowtie and from the pic it looked like a good match. Wonder if that'd work and stick to chrome?

I took it to a shop to do it and he used 3m metallic silver.

Oh okay and how did the color end up matching? It looks pretty good in pictures, how is it in person?

Looks great, I'd like to see more pics of that wrapped bumper to see how well it matches outside. Been thinking of this myself.

Color matching was pretty spot on. You wouldn't know it was wrapped just by looking at it.

Thanks for all the great info any links on the wrap I have been looking and cannot find anything on it. Also what kind of shop did the work because I want to see if one is by me and see if I can purchase wrap from them. Thanks again

No links. I'll shoot the guy a message and see what he says. He even commented on his page saying it was gloss metallic silver. He just opened up shop so there won't be any other shops connected to his. Here is a link to some shops in your area. They typically have samples that they will color match to when you go in the first time.

Got the powder-coated steel black side steps put on yesterday. Best part about it, they were free. The dealership who transferred it to the one I bought it from, screwed up - put it on the invoice as included with the truck, but they weren't included. End result - I got them for free, and now my dealership is owed about $500 by the other one. Gonna stop by a detail place today, look into getting my chrome emblems dipped black.

    • Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.  
    • New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
    • No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

    • - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
