CRazy4.8 and you guys that have done this please tell me how you smoothed it or does it just look that way because it is a pic? No i am not going to just put a tahoe one on and be done with it. I am a knothead and have to do it the difficult way :p

 

the difficult way? you told me you were gonna have your paint shop do it....jack ***!!

 

they are going to paint it and supply the paint and supplies but if i want it smooth I have to do it. Hey for $75 they will paint, supply the supplies, prep, remove the parts from the truck and them put them back after they cure then that isnt too bad to me. I just wanted it to look a bit smoother. I saw a Ava that had all the body plastic painted to match and it look ok but would have looked better smooth.

 

just make sure they use a heavy filling primer and it should fill in the grooves...my buddy painted his interior stuff with a heavy primer and it looked smoothe/felt smoothe. or you could sand it down smoothe, but that WILL TAKE FOREVER!

 

What flex additive are you guys using?

 

i didn't use any on my stuff, hmmmm maybe that's why it all chipped off and looks like **** now and i have to re-do it

 

**** load of sanding will get it smooth. or like sloverado said a filling primer.

 

when he says **** LOAD OF SANDING....that is an understatement. i sanded for like 2 days on 1 piece of the door panel on my truck and it's still not completely smoothe.

 

i can't even tell you. we just picked it up at the paint store the same time we got the paint, clear coat, and ahesion promoter. its made by PPG though.

btw, adhesion promoter would be a good idea in this application too. bulldog is a good name brand (its always in stock at the local O'Riellys). get the spray stuff, that brush on crap is a PITA

 

Sand all night and chance it peeling and chiping or go to a Chevy dealer and order a bumper cap for a Tahoe or Sub.(not a hard decision for me)
