Chrome--switch to red and some other changes

blckblt · May 4, 2020

So I have a 2020 TB in black. I am not a fan of chrome. I don't see where GM offers the 6.2 L, Silverado, and LT emblems in any other colors than chrome or black. I was thinking I would switch those pieces to either red or debadge if I can't find an option that works or looks good. Not sure what I would do with the Z71 emblem.

I know that I can plastic dip them? Is the red plasti dip close or the same in color to the red tow hooks?

Are there other options for the emblems?

I was also thinking of adding the red Chevolet lettering to the tailgate from BD Trim.

So if I do all those red items I wouldn't want to end up with different shades of red.....

Also might look at the black lug nuts and black outlets or tips for the exhaust. (I don't see these as options any more on the Chevrolet site maybe due to a midnight edition TB coming out later this year). Probably going to put the GM performance exhaust on later this year.

I may also add this light kit: https://www.roughcountry.com/chevy-led-grille-kit-70817c.html?find=2020-chevy-silverado-1500-4wd-568872#overview. I would like to have more light for off road use but I don't like the looks of light bars and other stuff hanging off the truck....

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I would say that anytime you use 2 or more different companies for color there will be a good chance the shades will be slightly different. The question is do you think that the pieces are close enough together that anyone would notice the difference. Or are you like many of us OCD types that just knowing would drive you crazy even if nobody notices

I bought from bdtrims and went with black with red trim and domed letters.

I would be that OCD if the colors weren't a match or were not really close (95% or better).
