Default Little Things

Since getting the truck I've been meaning to do these things. Always seems I've been working on bigger projects. Man what a difference the little things make. Paint matched the front emblem and tailgate handle.

Ordered a rattle can of matched paint, primer and clear. My first attempts at painting anything. So far so good. Still gonna do the door handles, mirrors and front bumper cap.



Shame I'll have to re-do the rear bucket. Broke a clip putting it back on.

on your two tone- I took my tailgate off and masked the body line where GM "forgot" to carry the color around and painted the bottom of the tailgate. I masked, scuffed, painted, cleared and buffed it and it looks like it came from the factory like that. Looks 100x's better with the rollpan like that.... it would add a little detail to yours as well.
