Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Chris, I'm getting ready to paint a few things on the interior of my Blazer to match my parchment seats. I've gotten the SEM color card in and the super white looks to be a perfect match, but I keep coming back to this thread and looking at how far off it was in reality. I've tried to use a color match camera that my painter buddy has, but it doesn't come up with a formula for that color. Is there any chance that you have a color code, formula, etc. for your custom mix that you used on your console?

Always good to Be back Home. Enjoy. It feels like forever waiting on your household goods to arrive. At least you got your trucks back.

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Awesome. My blazer definitely stands out in a parking lot as well. Does help it sits on a 5 inch lift and 35 inch tires though. Lol

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
I seen your post on Iron's decal thread also. Curious is that spare still 31" or did you change to 33". Wondering how much space there is to the bedside while it is mounted in the holder?

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
I'm on 31s. Id say there's a good 3-4" there. A 33 should fit, though it will make hard to use the rear view mirror
