bigwheel15 · 12-08-2012, 02:31 AM

How are you applying the blitz black? Gun?

JRANGER · 12-08-2012, 02:44 AM

The plan is to apply it by gun.... The inner doors and such were done with rattle cans and the back of the cab and front of bed by foam roller

JRANGER · 12-08-2012, 12:24 PM

Thats what she said!

JRANGER · 12-08-2012, 05:46 PM

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....

JRANGER · 12-08-2012, 06:02 PM

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

JRANGER · 12-09-2012, 12:37 AM

Well gonna try to install the new stereo before wrestling practice tomorrow morning....Probably all I will get accomplished though

JRANGER · 12-09-2012, 02:34 PM

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?

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

THE "10" SILVERADO · 12-09-2012, 11:16 PM

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

cubber · 12-10-2012, 12:56 AM

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