Looks good to me and it doesn't peel, been through the car wash twice and still in perfect condition. Wicked Galaxy Note 3

 

 

I plasti Dipped my front bowtie, while a buddy bought one from Chevymall. Living in Pittsburgh with all the snow and road salt mine is still perfect, no peeling at all. His on the other hand has three chips in it and looks like shit. It wouldnt have been so bad if he didnt have to drill out his stock one to install the aftermarket one.

 

What is plastic dipped?

There is a site www.dipyourcar.com that shows what can be done with it or do a search on youtube for plastidip, plenty of videos. There is also a thread on here on page 3 of this section.

Can you do this on a 2014 sierra?? My emblem had 7 total tabs that where crazy hard to release from reaching in through the front of the grill. I'll also pass on taking a flathead to a week old $50k truck ;) I didn't want to remove the letters, I'm a little confused on what you meant about that. e5u7e5e7.jpg Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

All I done was with a flat top screwdriver was gently pry the logo off the grill. it just popped off .did not force it just slow easy pressure,worked my way around from top to sides to bottom, then when you look at the back there is a bunch of little holes with white plastic sticking out this is what keeps the letters attached,I then got a drill and drilled out the holes, (do not go to deep as to hit the back of the letters) the letters just fell out and off the chrome bracket .I than spray painted the letters black waited for them to dry put a small dap of PL400 adheisive where I drilled ,placed the letters back into there place,let dry for a couple hours,than snapped the gmc logo back onto the grill. My truck is only 3 weeks old and $55 plus.

Yes you can Plasti Dip you logo to look like that. You just tape off the grill, put a 3-5 light coats on. I used the glossifier on mine to get a better finish. After its dry it should just peel off the chrome.

Did you plasti-dip the "SILVERADO" as well?

If so, did you mask the letters off on the truck, or remove them and re-apply them?

I left the letters on the truck just left a 1/2" space between the letters and tape. Then just peel the dip off and it cuts off right where every letter starts. Make sure you let it dry enough after your last coat or you might peel part of a letter.

I actually already dipped mine, I was asking about the previous post on how to remove the emblem/letters. I found it very easy to dip it once I got everything taped off. I probably did more like 7 or 8 very light coats. I posted a couple pics on the previous page.

I found some antennas on Amazon but I'm not sure if they will fit good, where did you get yours?

I like the window tint. How many inches is the strip on the windshield? and does it effect your view??

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.
