Silverado SS tailgate cap on my GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Seems like it's been forever since I treated the GMC to a new mod.
Today I installed the Silverado SS tailgate cap I bought. Had it painted this past week.

Old cap came off easy, some elbow grease and two blisters later I had the old tape off.

Progress below

Looks nice and smooth! Did you have to paint it or did it come in the color you specified? I like the tailgate handle and bezel also.

I can’t remember if we already had this conversation…but I used to live in Rochester Hills. In the apartments behind Kmart on Avon Rd. Then later downtown Rochester by the park. Move back home to CO in 2001. For me Michigan was a nice place to leave.

Thanks

I bought it 'paint to match' from a local guy, there was a 2 inch tear in it as well (it was cheap)

I had it painted to match last week.

Tailgate handle is real chrome, I sold them a while back and kept one for myself, I painted the bezel to match myself a while back also.

Maybe we did, not sure. I am very close to both of those places. In spite of the current job situation (I'm out of work too) I still love Michigan
