Black on Black?

[burbanman03]

ok i ya'll i have a 97 tahoe and im thinking of blacking it out bumpers wheels and grill but i want opinions from you guys & gals and if any one has pics of the old body style all blacked out PLEASE post some up. i am just having a hard time powder coating over perfectly good chrome wheels what do you all think

 

[treepete]

Could you maybe buy a set of blacked out wheels instead, or is powder coating more economical?

Maybe a black Silverado SS bumper would bolt on there.. I dunno.

do it...my wheels were all chrome too...It was kinda hard to make that decision i know lol..but I'm glad I did it haha, everyone has chrome! Get that thing murked out!

price

i was quoted here locally $65 per wheel $45 per bumper and $35 for the grill so this seems cheaper that replacing everything! but i would like to see pics of this done on the old body style like mine.

but hey man thanks for the reply

as i can see on that little picture im not to fond of the rims you have on it, but maybe if you sell those and eather buy a black set or something like treepete said. ive seen some realllly cool black hoes in the past and now.. id debadge your hoe while your making it all black, maybe get some tail light covers or shade those and the head lights... idk jsut some options..

 

[burbanman03]

hey trend

did you do a flat black or semi or gloss finish on yours ?

 

[burbanman03]

debadge

it is debadged and im going to smoke the oem taillights out. ya i dint care for the rims either but i got them for free of one of my cars on the car lot. so know i like them alot

You could always just ship me your wheels and then buy new ones that are already black.

NICE TRY i dont believe i will be doing any such thing! i dont wont to buy new rims just maybe a change for these wheels

 

[thekl0wn]

Those wheels would look sick blacked out on your rig. For black bumpers, I would personally rather have painted OEM's, rather than going over chrome.

 

[treepete]

I like your powder coating prices. I say do it.

And nice pick on that old pic of Boost's old ride.

haha thanks.. im a big fan of saving ppls rides on my computer then using them as reference.. i jsut dont have tahoes.. i have like 500 some pictures.. lol

 

[treepete]

Did anyone know if the SS bumper will bolt on that thing?

Sasquatch, check your photo archives for a red tahoe, but had a silverado bumper in the front. It was fire engine red. or a fireman, or somthing.. man. that would work if you could get one cheap. I cant find the thread, but it was an 95-97 truck with an ss grill bolted on somehow. it was cool.

 

[sasquatch094]

i gotchyou..

 

[GMCYukalade]

its just a bumper cover i've looked them up before

 

[treepete]

Sasquatch, Dude thats wrong that you had that photo. THATS THE EXACT ONE I WAS TALKING ABOUT>

it would be cool if you got one of those. I see them now on ebay, the bumper covers. until now, i thought that was a real SSbumper.

well anyway, GL on the powdercoating.
