I'll have to give your painting method a try when I go to repair some rust. I got some touch-up paint made from o Reillys and that was $60 for a very small containers. One being white for the base and the second was the creamy/pearls.

These turned out pretty good. I was wondering why you wouldn't go to the dealership garage and get the color match paint in spray cans. They go by your vin number. Not knocking your job it looks great.
@hunterrwiilson Жыл бұрын
Allegedly, they don’t sell specifically spray cans at dealerships (at least GM to my knowledge) but they’ll sell a quart or gallon of the paint requiring a spray gun and etc. But I appreciate your comment! Stay tuned, got something interesting about this modification coming in an upcoming video!
@donaldcotnoir1865 Жыл бұрын
@Hunter Wilson not sure what your dealership is doing but I have a 2017 silverado and my service dept ordered me a spray can of the exact color. My truck is a silver color. I want to do flares on my truck and like you I want them to match the color. You might want to try your local parts store as well. Just a suggestion. Looking forward to the next video. I'm a new subscriber as well

@@donaldcotnoir1865 since this color is that tri-coat color it’s almost impossible to pack it all in a can and get the same metallic, according to a paint shop I went to to ask the same question. But, Just wait, you’ll enjoy what’s about to come 👀! I appreciate you thinking I’m worthy enough of a subscription! Blessings

Going to do this on my truck, however, did you use any sealer? Or was it not necessary
@hunterrwiilson2 жыл бұрын
Besides using clear coat, I didn’t use a sealer. It has started to chip a tad, so my advice is make sure you sand it very well and in the hard to reach areas and use whatever type of sealer you are wanting.
@angelsanchezmkiv7 ай бұрын
You need to sand it better and get rid of the texture, also needs adhesion promoter then primer then paint then pearls and then 2k clear coat theyll last forever without chipping

How did you get the plastic pieces that go around the fender to pop back in when re installing the flares ??
@hunterrwiilson2 жыл бұрын
They should just pop back in from the small clips on the back of them.

did you wet sand them smooth? or did you just hit them with the 220 grit and left them like that?

I just sanded them down and went with it. Ngl they’re starting to peel in some places so make sure you get it buttery smooth and in all the crevices. I gotta do mine again.

They aren’t chipping AS bad as you’d think, but my recommendation for when doing this, make sure you get in that little crevice thats there on the trim piece good, and also make sure you get a 2k Clear Coat. After doing everything that I did plus this new recommendation, you should be in business
