Today I decided to take one of my junky and rather beat up tail gate panels and see if I could resurrect it. I took some body filler glaze because it is very dense and is much harder than the other body fillers to fill in all the dents and scratches. After I sanded it down smooth I shot several coats of primer on it. Right now it is drying over night and tomorrow I will block it and then give it a silver paint job with a black accent edge.
I also cleaned up the GMC badge and shot it in silver. I will add some red paint to the letters once it is fully dried.
I saw a truck displayed at SEMA on Facebook that had all it's trim painted, and I thought it looked amazing. I will be doing the same treatment to the wrap around rear cab trim too. I thought it was going to be super hard to remove, but all you have to do is remove the 2 nuts that hold the corner trim pieces and then push the center piece out to one side. Lucky for me I did not break any of those ancient plastic mounting tabs. That would have been a disaster! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut on occasion...
