I DO NOT believe in painting over the chrome and everyone told me you can't remove chrome from ABS plastic without messing it up....... I love it when people tell me something can't be done ;-)

The chrome is actually a true chrome plating... The ABS plastic is sprayed with a special paint that accepts the plating process. The trick is to get an edge started on the chrome plate and use a 2500psi'ish pressure washer to "separate" the plating from the plastic. The pressure washer will not damage the plastic and the plating is fairly easily seperated. From here it's a series of hand peeling and alternating separating with the pressure washer. Use gloves because the plating is thick and extremely sharp.

I called a local dealer in my area and gave them the part number for a white a/t grille and they quoted me ~$600. I ended up buying mine off ebay from a dealer in like NC or GA for $445 and free shipping.

For however has Plasti-dipped the rear bumper are you taping off the back up sensors?

 

I haven't plastidipped before, but from all of the videos I've watched you would be able to just peel the dip off of the sensors without having to tape them. Just have to do it slow.

My new look. Chrome grill and headlights

 

Should I remove the plasti dip on the lower half or leave it white?

 

Btw, I have a work truck so it was all black when I started.

    • Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer
    • Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.
    • My 6.6 gas lt8 had lifter noise with 28000 miles bought new 2026 and while driven to dealer it threw #1 rod bearing “HD my ass” good luck with yours i hope it don’t turn a rod bearing!
    • When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.
    • Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
