Really like the color matched font end, sharp looking truck you have.

What's with the door emblem, did it come that way or did you add it after purchase? Haven't seen one like that before.

It comes like that, it's a Custom Sport edition. I'm actually thinking about buying 2 of those and replacing them for the decals on my bed sides. But, not sure if I want to try it, especially if I screw up with the positions.

He is correct. I special ordered the truck the way it sits. Love it not another like it around me yet. Always gets looks. Wheels and tires soon

Here is mine after 2 days of paint correction and glass coating (22PLE) application.

Turned out great. Looks perfect. How bad was yours when you started? I will be doing mine here soon. Had water spots when I bought it. What did you use polish and machine wise? I used Adams paint correction before with a hf da with good results. Been looking at the cyclo.

Paint correction is basically what it sounds like. Correcting or "removing" the surface imperfections such as contaminants, scratches, holograms, water spots, hazing or dry spots, etc. The process cleans the surface and cuts the clear coat; it minimizes deep scratches and creates a shiny and smooth paint surface which is then ready for application for sealant and wax application. In this case, it's a semi-permanent coating of 22PLE.

Thanks!

My buddy did much of the work. After clay bar, he started with a 2500 grit, then 4000. Menzerna 105 was also used, but I think it was for rougher spots. He used two polishers, one is a Rupe and the other had a Griotts Garage brand on it.

Paint condition was not bad. I bought the truck on Dec 1 last year and I told the dealer not to prep and not to touch it. It paid and the paint was in a decent shape. Some light scratches, but absent of holograms. Since I had a 600-mile drive home, I took the time to create a bra made of blue painter's tape (photo below) and I'm glad I did. The same buddy installed the clear bra about two weeks after the truck got home, so there was no stone chips. Between then and last week, the truck was driven in Ohio winter. Surface was somewhat rough with contaminants, was grime-laden, salt/water spotted (I rinsed the truck at the end of the day when driven and when weather allowed), but under all those, it was still in a decent shape.

The massive panels were what took so long to cover. I suggested skipping the roof panel between the rails to save time, but he wouldn't have any of it. So, it got a quick buff (not even clay bar since it didn't have contaminants), a wipe of alcohol, and 22PLE.

Really nice looking truck!..........Is the truck on the trailer a true ZR2? I don't remember them being offered with the larger cabs.....Looks like it resembles the ZR5 package that GM offered.

To this day, my ZR2 is still my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. I wish I would have kept that thing, it was a beast. 6" suspension lift wit h35's, it would go anywhere I wanted it to. Should have never sold it, big mistake!

Thanks bud! It actually is a ZR5. It's the fender flares that make it look like a ZR2. They were custom made by a member on the s10 crew cab forum. I agree these s10's are awesome. I just can't get rid of mine. Especially after putting so much money into the solid axle swap lol

And the black out continues

!

Wasn't sure how the High Country rims would look in black but I like them so far. I would like a bit wider tire though. Would love any one else's thoughts on blacking out the fog light trim, mirror, chrome center (bottom front bumper) and door handles ... yes or no? Leave it like it is or keep going?
