Got bored at work. I anticipate much hate.

[Colyn.]

Anyway got bored at work last week and we had a White 2006 GMC Crew come in for some bodywork and had some paint left over so here it is... I like the way it looks even though most of you will most likely not. Only thing I plan to do now is paint grille bar white, repaint bowtie black and get some clear headlights. I put a OEM grille insert behind the bumper holes, but dont have any HD upclose pics of it. I will snap some when it stops storming here. On to the pics......


The tear down

Sandblasted

Primered

Drilled holes for bumper insert

Smoothed down the primer

How the truck sat for a few days while I did all the work, you all know im not afraid to roll it all torn apart. But were not going to talk about how long the bed was off the truck, rofl.

Prep'd and ready for paint

Finally done

And how it sits now

Let the hate begin....

I kinda like it :shrug: I wanna colormatch my shit soo bad

 

[09BlueZ71LTZ]

Looks good

 

[Oktain]

Looks good to me :shrug:

Get rid of the chrome strip on the grille and it'll look even better.

If you ever decide to paint the upper bumper pad, I would consider leaving the lower black.

There is such thing as overkill with colormatching lol.

 

[Colyn.]

I will never have a colormatched valance. Besides I rip it off atleast once a week the paint wouldnt even last one day.

 

[Dakota]

Dnw colormatched valance

 

[CUB]

Hell to the no.
At least paint upper cap white also.

 

[Jose.]

Yes, I hate it. Paint that upper cap and grill.

 

[Colyn.]

If I can find a painted top cap for cheap then yeah Ill get one but ive been working on the extra 2 I have for some time now and I just cant get them to work. But I love the way it looks so this is how it will stay until I do the grille in a few weeks. Angelo paint your hood.

 

[Fogle]

caps are cheap. i think mine was like 70 when i done my 06 front end swap.

 

[CUB]

It'll take you less time to get your hood painted than it did him to drop his ride lol

 

[Dan]

Looks good man. Paint the upper bumper white as well and hit the lower valence with some black and it'll be perfect

 

[Jared]

Not digging it, at minimum it needs the top cap painted for sure.

 

[Colyn.]

Hit the lower valence with some black and it'll be perfect

Valance is black already bro?

 

[Cuban.]

[bgray]

Looks like a panda bear....I dOnt mind it

 

[Adjusted]

will look great with painted bumper cap! i like colormatched bumpers alot, and now your front/rear bumpers match.

 

[JoshRA]

Already told you the upper needs to be matched. I just think it looks unfinished and like you gave up.
