2014+ Color Match Topic

[Imcrazy]

I just can't get into lowered trucks.

The first two white trucks are sick.

Has anyone seen a silver ice metallic silverado colormatched (grille surround and headlight trim)?!

That lifted white one is just way too much for me.

I'm liking the grill painted and the bumper chrome

[gmc_downstream]

does anyone know a part number for the all terrain bumper? Might just buy one instead of painting the chrome ones

I don't have a part number but the steel bumper itself is almost $500 bucks... damnit

[gmc_downstream]

That's just to much for a bumper

Color matching my truck is first on the list. Are all of you just prepping the chrome bumpers? Paint doesn't like chrome even if it's prepped I'm just wondering.

I've had plenty of vehicles with the chrome painted. I believe they put a coat of something "etching" not sure, and on the chrome plastics they put a flex agent? But mine have held up in the past. As a grow older though im getting more anal so i'll probably clear bra the painted parts in the front once they are done.

Nice! The dealer sells painted sensors I believe or if you find someone who has done it before they can paint the factory ones. IIRC they are tricky to paint but can be done.

IMO, these trucks look so much better color matched. I really hope they continue the Z71 appearance package. Ram guys have the Sport, and Ford guys have the FX4, so Chevy needs to have something similar. I guess the GMC All Terrain is close, but not 100%.

I've had colored matched trucks from the factory. When you have painted metal on the front it chips a lot easier then the plastic pieces around it. Doing the clear protective film over the areas does work and isn't to expensive. When done right you can't notice it.

check this truck out....color matched everything including plastics.

I hope gm reads this and starts to offer more painted options. Kind of like back in 2010 with the WEA appearance pkg for the z71's

 

The painted versions looks much better
