Subscribed. Right now I'm debating on trying this. But not sure if they could put my color on a vinyl wrap. Does anyone know if you could get a white diamond tricoat vinyl wrap?

 

Do it, I'm going to. That WDT Vinyl blackout linked looks good and it's really cheap. If a shop doesn't quote me too much I might just order some and tackle it myself. I'm tired of the the chrome bumpers on my truck. Might even do the mirror caps.

 

Edit* anyone know how to remove the plastic trim piece on the rear bumper?

Once March hits, I'm pulling the trigger on my A/T Grille and buying some gloss white wrap to tackle the front and rear chrome ( :throwup:) bumpers, as well as the grille and window trim. Should look much better when all said and done!

For those who wrapped front and rear bumpers, how much vinyl did you go through? I am debating is 5ft x 10ft would be enough to cover that - i would prefer not to have to bump it up to 5ft x 20ft as I am sure that is overkill

Why 3m?

 

I wanted to get people opinions on it. I have a friend that is ordering VVivid Vinyl and I'm going to give that a shot. It's cheap enough that if I'm not happy with it, I will redo it.

In my opinion the gloss white option from 3M, Avery, and Oracal are not good matches. It would look like a paint job gone wrong if the bumpers and grill surround were wrapped. I have heard of the Color Lab company that provides colour matched vinyl for this specific purpose, but haven't seen any in person - photos look promising.

 

I plan to digitally print some white samples myself and see if I can get a good match. I will post if I have any success.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Assembling a Word Puzzle   A sentence in a famous sermon says:    “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them".   Forget it was a sermon and forget its religious nature. Assemble the puzzle. What did he say? I'm only going to unravel the part underlined.... Keep it simple and out of the ditch. It's a word puzzle not a religious class. I'm not writing a book. Okay..   By saying that people conscious of that stated need will receive; the implication is that there are also people that are not conscious and thus deprived.   But this one sentence also says that ALL people have this need, not just the ones aware of it.   NEED will try to lead you to satisfying it. You're thirsty, you seek water. You're hungry, you seek nourishment. You're cold, you find cover. Lack of awareness is a choice. So when he says "conscious' he isn't saying simply aware but aware and active in satisfying that need.    That's allot of information for eight words. This man knew how to craft a sentence...   Give that some thought the next time you read an advertisement or a book.

      Gas fill door

      By snowblind · Posted

      My gas fill door does not stay closed. Not sure what happened, but it works its way to about a inch open every trip. Need a fix to this. 2020 Silverado 1500.
