Just got mine paint corrected and ceramic coated.

Looks great. I am trying to figure out if this is really worth doing. Also it is good to see you did this - looks like your rig is several years old. My truck is only a couple of weeks old but I feel like every time I wash it, I am making a decision to not get it ceramic coated.

Black and red theme for my 2016 Sierra Denali. Red calipers, coilovers, spark plug wires and boot covers. Not a lick of chrome except for a few items in the interior. Not sure why they stopped using the red backlighting in the interior for the GMC's in 2017+. Thought it fit the red GMC logo and separated it from all other brands. I'll enjoy the last year it was made, maybe when I buy again they'll be back to red backlighting :-)

Thanks!  Yeah it’s a 2015, just got it in May.  The paint didn’t seem bad before, until we stripped the wax, clay barred, and got some good lighting on it, especially with the detailing light.  I would 100% say that it was worth it.  Paint is incredibly reflective and smooth now, and water won’t stay on at all, cleaning is so easy.  Expensive, but worth it.

I like your build, do you have more pictures. I would like to see your blacked out Denali grill. Looks good.

Here is mine.  Didn't want to blast the chrome or plastidip it so left the chrome.  rps20180730_095448.thumb.jpg.350cccf268d602dfda53e98a3107a7e5.jpg 

 

 Interesting. Can you provide a bigger picture, it is a little small. So it looks like you went with a black “skid plate” and then painted the Chrome surround on the grill black. That looks good. I want to “black-out” my Denali but I don’t want it to be “murdered”. I still want some chrome but the stock Denali is a little over board on the chrome. I really like what you did. Great job.

 

 

Also looking back at your side picture I see you blacked out the a lot of the chrome on the side - very nice. I like your build, more pictures would be great. That is just what I want to do. Thanks for posting.

I bought a textured skid plate (no down time with truck apart) and smoothed it then primed and painted it. Easy for me (body man) and materials are available.  Gets alot of looks and it's different from all the others.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
