I used the Anthrecite Grey, matches pretty well. didn't put a gloss on, probably would make the mirrors look better.

Hi Brett

 

I am likely doing my emblems this weekend. Did you mask right to the emblem or slight over spray onto the chrome and cut bewteen emblem and chrome? I wonder which way is better? Will post pics next week after my Tonneau cover is installed next Wednesday. I love my new truck.

 

Thanks Andy

Hey Andy,

 

I just masked off to the edge of the chrome, Did not try to overspray onto the chrome. There is a small gap between the chrome and the emblem so it made for a clean look, I didn't need to cut anything out but I did have my exacto knife ready. put on 4 coats, just go light to start off.

I am planning to plastidip emblems and maybe the tow mirrors this weekend. Has anyone used the gunmetal grey color? Wondering what that might look like compared to the Anthrecite Grey?

Haha! Yeah, I saw this truck and immediately "had to have it"! I traded in a '13 LT truck, which was nice, but this truck is loaded. The GM 22's were just the icing on the cake. I will say this: Those chromies will never see snow or salt! I bought a set of take-off's from a friend's '14 Silverado, to use as my winter wheels.

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
