Off a Yukon Denali painted black!

mighta missed it but what grid sandpaper did you use

Anyone else doing this the clips for the cladding are available on Amazon 100 for $20

My pop's would have yelled at me for painting on the driveway/sidewalk. Ha ha! Also, I agree that the chrome had to go.

To be honest you should get a can of 2k clear. This grill didn't really hold up. It's fading and It chipped because the paint is fried. Needs to have hardener in it or it won't hold up. Figured id try it but ehhh didn't last longer than a year

Other than the obvious bolts up top it's all snap clips. Just pry carefully with a plastic trim tool. It looks good in person too honestly. Still holding up through winter. Makes them look new again!

ThatAccordGuy yea I know about the clip pins up top but was not sure about the others if it was just a simple clip. Good to know. My chrome is wore off from the front deflector dripping water on it and like you I don’t like chrome. Just painted my exhaust tip mate black. It looks MINT

Yeah you just gotta grab that thing and yank. On the four corners. And on the ends too. Solid tug

Use a blowtorch to make the fade go away

Hows the paint holding as of now on the body plastic? Would that color black look good on a white avalanche lol

I think black cladding on a white one looks sick! I wish mine was white haha. It's holding up great on everything but the bumpers. I think that I should have cleaned them better with denatured alcohol. People use plastic restorer on bumpers a lot and it causes the paint not to stick. Its peeling off the rear bumper only. Otherwise it's holding up great! My dad's truck we did the same way and it's holding up great a few years later. Little faded but still black

I have a white 03 as well and I'm excited about painting the cladding black because Im tired of the waxing/shiner stuff fading and leaving streak marks on the body once it rains. Did you ever paint yours?
