you know what, i think im gonna go home and paint mine today or tomorrow after work, you guys got me itchin to paint something

ill let ya know how it goes

 

I painted mine up a few months ago with satin balck krylon fusion plastic paint and its held up great. All I did was scuff it and tape off the chrome surrounding.

 

Looks good man thanks alot for the pics

 

Yes the gm is a clear plastic you will never sand the red off...you just need to scuff it up so the paint sticks. I wanted the chrome lining to so thats why i took mine off but a better option would be to tape off everything except the red letters.....it will take longer but be worth it.

 

what grit sandpaper did you use for scuffing it up? i was thinking about doing the same thing but some people said the paint peels off pretty easy.

 

You can buy scuff pads at any autoparts store....they are red. They do not peal off easily...i prob drive in some of the worst conditions of most people on here with getting hit by rocks/mud etc etc i get a couple nice dings in my paint and front end everyday and mine is still perfect....can go right up to it with a pressure washer and it is fine also. Just apply allot of good coats followed by 3 or 4 coats of clear.

 

Were can i get spray paint that matches my truck? Do they even make it?
