04 RCSB Silverado Slow Build

Don't worry about talking and what not in here, that's what it's for. Gather & discuss opinions and thoughts regarding your plans, which it was :shake: just know it could always be worse, like a jsp or Alecks build :rofl:

That's a nice photoshop imo. Definitely yes on the front end. I'm not against the black steelies for winters. But if going with chrome or silver for summer, I'd say stick with the clear corner lights. Painted is more for blacked out look :imo:
 
Browsing ebay. I see tons of clear headlights but no smoked reflectors :/ just smoked lenses. I relly do enjoy thay photoshop pic i made. Hmmmm

You'll have to paint the reflector yourself most likely. All clear lights would look best imo

Everyone online says clear. My buddies in real life say murder the thing out. So many choices. All my attemps of photoshoping clear's onto my truck never turn out well

That's how every fucking person builds their trucks, and how every fucking douche cunt drools over them (example 1: his 40k followers) or (example 2: fully stock except lift, wheels, tires, tint, hids, yet is considered one of the sickest trucks in town) :suicide: :ayfkm:

Everyone except forum people :omg:

I'm not big on black wheels. Yes I have owned them. If you want black wheels that's fine, but smoked lights and all that jazz doesn't flow well. You need some contrast which is why cleared lights are the way to go. There is a new ram around the corner from me, black with black wheels and tinted out. All it needs is a drop and cleared lights and I'd drive the shit out of it. I don't like black wheels because they look dirty 24/7. When I had my Z71 I joined the other site prior to moving to this one, and I tell you they saved the look of my truck. If it wasn't for them I would have been a typical hillbilly ass truck that you see everyday around here. Straight pipes, stuffed buckshots, decals, and a fucking hypertech.
 
Black wheels also suck because you can't see shit, like so

You aren't even to able to tell the size, make or style... Just a black hole
 
Really wish my ltz's were the actual chrome ones not just the silver ish ones. Now question about color matching since Ive read a bunch on it and it all says different things. Like the textured bumper cap, some say use a adhesion promoter and a bit of sanding and ill be set others say you gotta get the smooth paintable one, the chrome aswell, some say just scuff it up and do the same as you would the bumper cap and id be set (also including the center bar in the grille) ive read of people using a rattle can and had amazing results, others say dont touch the rattle can. Just confused on what needs to be done to color match my front end well. If possible I'd prefer to use a rattle can and keep my textures pieces just get the texture out. Any tips?
 
On the plastic pieces you have to sand the texture off. Then use adhesion promoter and filler primer with sanding after that. There's more to it but when you get to it we can explain more.

Chrome pieces, if you're doing the bumper that's chrome I'd have it sandblasted first. Paint doesn't stick to chrome worth a shit. The grille you can sand off the chrome with a DA sander pretty easy. The chrome just needs to come off and followed with adhesion promoter and so on.

I read that with sanding a bit (not all but like most) of the texture off and adhesion promoter with a filler primer a few coats of color and about 3 coats of clear i should end up with a smooth surface?

Yeah. Just sand off as much as you can. Filler primer fills in the stuff you don't get it
