WTB sunvisors for a 73 Suburban, off white - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

greenhorn male · 09-06-2005, 12:15 AM

I am looking for a nice pair of sunvisors. The color is off white, maybe sightly darker. My options list says the interior color is "pearl". Are truck visors the same or different? My driver side folded in half lengthwise after it got too tight to turn. Passenger side just has a small tear, but I would still want a pair to make sure the visors have the same colors. Price with shipping to 94565, and a picture would be nice also.

Nobody has a nice pair of off white or light tan sunvisors they want to part with? I'm pretty sure truck visors are the same from 73-??? I just replaced my drivers side with a dark blue one for now and it doesn't quite match the tan interrior.

Have you thought about dying them the color you need?

Jonboy · 09-15-2005, 09:40 AM

Are they the same color as the headliner? I was thinking the headliner and upper trim was all that color in subs and blazers, but I can't 100% remember.

What do you use for dying and how well does it stay on? I have 2 later blue sets that seem to be the same fit except the passenger side has a built in mirror. I wouldn't mind dying them if they turn out good and don't peel.

Jonboy...my headliner is off white and so is the trim. The last burb and truck I owned had a blue headliner a trim.

I think the ones in my Jimmy may be the same color you are looking for. I will look this weekend.

I buy the vinyl spray by plasti-kote that I get from Advance. The most important thing is the prep work. The vinyl has to be treated with acetone to make sure there is no grease ect. on it. Then when you spray just put a fine mist on all sides. Have them hanging so you can get to all sides. Then when tacky, do this again with a mist then each time cover with a little heaver coat till you are pleased. You can take a hair dryer and right after each coat dry just enought to keep the paint from running. (on low heat) Do not try to completly dry with the hair dryer. Do this after each coat. After they are good and dry, (about 24 hours) go ahead and put Armor All or something to that nature on the sun-visors. This is what I have done to the whole interiors on some of the cars and trucks I have had over the last 30 years. Remember the prep is the most importand part. It will look OE.

I guess I could try spraying them unless Bisquik's set is clean and works well.
