Re: Project Platinum C10
How long did it take you to do just one of those corner cab moldings? Mine are oxidized pretty bad as is the tailgate molding.

Not real worried about the paint codes. Just wondering how far off the factory steel gray it is. I am thinking of doing the gray on my interior when it gets painted. Still up in the air about that one.

Re: Project Platinum C10
If you are careful, you can get the emblems out and back in by bending the tabs.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Looks great! I may have to attempt this myself. Just makes me nervous.

Re: Project Platinum C10
It's a lot of work but worth it. I've read and watched some YouTube videos on ways to remove the anodized coating. I didn't try any of them but they seem a little easier than sanding it off.

Re: Project Platinum C10
I really like the gray on gray. It fits the project name. Cab trim turned out very nice. Are you painting the botwie or the yellow?? Either way, looks really good!

Thanks Korwin and you're right, these pictures don't do it justice. Once I get the truck back I'll be able to position the truck with better lighting where I can get much better pictures!

Re: Project Platinum C10
What color are you planning on painting it? Did you bag it yourself?

Re: Project Platinum C10
Clayton, I refreshed my dash gauge/lights ect, $4 job to keep you busy? Got some great advice on this forum! It has a kind of cool halo effect with the white paint, and the dash lights are really bright now.

Re: Project Platinum C10
That looks really cool! Especially with your dash being painted white! I may have to do something like that.

Re: Project Platinum C10
You could use a silver for the face that would match yours, but paint the back side white for the light reflection. Thought it would be a good project while your truck was still in paint jail.

Re: Project Platinum C10
No I didn't bag it myself but i redid something's after I got it back. And I'm going to two tone it, galaxy gray on top and bottom with a Brandywine red in the middle.
