Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Thats what she said!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Well i didnt think it would take me all day to do it but here it is...

First pick is a comparison of before and after 320 grit sandning

The Cab bands have been sanded with 320 grit, then 1000 grit to brighten them up.

Then I painted the black stripes red...Painted the red in the logo and made the GMC black....

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

They are actually much brighter in person...trying to figure out a way to clean them up a little more

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Ok couldnt resist with light still outside...Put the band on real quick to take pics to see the contrast of the color the truck will be and the band

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Beeyooteeful!!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Well internet is out so no pics but I managed to get the cd player installed..

I have a problwm though.....The windshield is leaking in the drivers side corner and into the cab...its a brand new windshield and gaske..... Do I need to put sealant under the gasket to fix this or is that a bad idea?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Custom cab bands. I like. I did the same myself.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Well it was close to a year ago so i probably just didnt notice because i dont drive it in the rain

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Haha! Thanks man and it can turn out pretty good mines not perfect but it works and i like the red with the black

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

In that case I would get some windshield sealer at advance and seal her up.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Would you do just the corner where it leaks or around the whole window?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

I would start with the problem area. That will most likely be the end of it.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Awesome!!!!! I like the cab trim it looks sweet, definitely the red sticks out which makes those little details pretty haha, the rims look sweet can't wait to see what you do with them. Good job man, keep the work up!!!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Oh :lol: when i meant i was gonna steel your ideas, i even meant the satin finish jeff, blitz black? but im gonna do something different with pin stripes, probably chevy orange or lime or neon green :devil:

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

I painted the back of the cab and front of the bed with a roller but not the whole truck....


I will mix the paint with paint thinner and spray it with my paint gun....Gonna have to do some testing first since this i gonna be a first

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

kool! i hope you take the specs of how much paint thinner itll take to get beautiful results!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

I talked to a guy that did it on here and he said 8:1 but I dont know what the hell that means exactly...I have mixing cups but dont understand the measurements exactly

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

LOL same here. talk to him, try and get an understanding. or just start a paint thread

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

yup once i get the whole primed and ready thats the plan

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

The panel i bought....Its a metra kit....I just put it in place then used self taping screw to put it there so it opens the bezel holes back up
