got back to work this morning just as they were laying out some sealer. i almost wish i could have changed the color to something wacky, but beggars can’t be choosers. i’m pretty excited about this, WOOT! ![http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/photo2-1.jpg](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/photo2-1.jpg) ![http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/photo3-1.jpg](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/photo3-1.jpg) ![http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/photo4-1.jpg](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/photo4-1.jpg) ---

Are you doing the prep and everything yourself? Are you painting it too, or do you have someone do that? I’ve done a full prep before (at Brent’s dad’s garage on my old legacy), and it was a bitch. It’s definitely a tiring job doing it right. ---

i used to prep and paint for about 3 years several years back, but no i am not doing this. it just happens to be our slow part of the year, so i was fortunate enough to have this squeezed into the schedule at work. it is by no means a showroom paint job, but it is definitely better than a POS maaco job. i agree, prepping for paint is the biggest PITA, there is no part about it i like. it should be done baking now, im going to take a walk back and snap some pics. ---

> [@Red00WS6](#): > > Blackout the turn signals if your gonna do something, white + Black’d out looks :tup: meh… i am blacking out the TRIM of the rear lights and reclearing them. i have the earlier model year red trimmed lights, and it looks like ass in combination with the oxidation. i might tint them a little bit, but subtle. the front turns are going clear (the aftermarket are CHEAP), and the heads are just getting sanded and buffed. i may do the center of the grill trim black, but if i do that there’s no going back, so im hesitant. the red part of the GMC emblem in the front is going silver. all of these are free mods with stuff i have laying around. this is my daily driver, while i do want it to look good, i’m not going to dump a ton of money into it. i just want it to look presentable while i run it into the ground for another 100k miles ---

> [@jt76](#): > > Sell some more amberlamps so u can put 22’s on it. I haven’t seen a big rim I like on these trucks. They all look kind of gaudy. I’d be more apt to put some meaty rims on it with big meaty rubber. I won’t do any of that though. These wheels shined up look fine. On a side note, my dads truck has 20’s on it and it drives like ass in the snow. Mine rips through the snow like nothing [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2002-denali-paint-resto/79125.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2002-denali-paint-resto/79125.md?page=3)
