- In todays video we were going to demold and debadge the truck while waiting for new side molding to come in because my factory ones were messed up. Well as you will see in this video like many old trucks we got hit with paint issues under the moldings....
What a bummer. I agree though, those chrome trim pieces look good on these trucks. Looking forward to seeing the painted flares on it. Keep it up.
I bought a new steam cleaner from Harbour Freight for $130.00. I've been using it to remove road tar, and using Goo gone on the sticky more stubborn things. It's been working great.
Hey Imfscrew just a quick tip use braid fishing line instead of that mono or floro that you were useing the braid doesn’t stretch and it also doesn’t break as fast keep being awesome and the amazing content.
You should paint it the same color as your new gmc you’re getting
mine did the same exact thing on the doors. i got new oem trim from my chevy dealer. they are pricey but they are prefect . i removed all the adhesive, polished the area and wiped down with panel prep and applied the new ones.
Had the exact same problem with the chrome moulding bubbling and the same problem when I removed it. Couldn’t find replacement chrome trim so ended up replacing it with black after market moulding. Started following you because we have the exact same truck lol
Hey man I know you commented this a while ago but I’m trying to find some black trim like that, do you know where I can get it?
My 06' Cateye has had it's problems too since I've had it. Last 2 trucks, not a lick of problems, but they were newer. It sucks but I feel your pain bro. Just gotta work the kinks out as they come. Love the content and honesty, I try to do the same on my channel.
i feel like you should paint it back to black so you could keep the chrome trimming. also i feel like itd look really good with chrome mirror caps
No
No. No chrome mirror caps ew
Sorry man, the same thing happened on my '02 Sierra when I took the chrome molding off. I heated the trim, used fishing line and it still peeled and flaked when it was removed. 20 year old paint so I knew it might happen..truck looks good though.
I have the exact same truck, same color. My hood had the clear come off and the same problem when I took off my chrome strips I used touch up paint from GM just tell she gets re-painted. Such good looking trucks but pretty sad paint jobs they came with. Beautiful truck man.
Truck looks real good without flares, keep up the great vids man, excited for your refreshed sierra to come in🤟🏼
That’s the worst, had the same issue on my 07. Best thing I could say it try and get the chrome off the pieces you have and color match them. But before touch up the spots that were blistered/chipped. Would look sick with that cts-v paint though! Best of luck buddy! Keep it up!
My truck did the same exact thing except I'm 16 and can't afford a paint job 😅 love the vids man keep up the great work
Tip of the day fellas: zippo lighter fluid is the best adhesive removal product I've found.. even for super glue. Former owner of my 2021 chevy blazer rs super glued badges on my car and zippo lighter fluid took it off. Zero damage or effect to the paint. Take care all
Main reason I haven't taken mine off. The paint is trashed already, don't want to make it worse. At least now you know though.
I wonder if we just sanded the silver thing and then painted it black or chrome again if that would help. I knew their plastic cuz i used ro work for magna n they dunk the parts in an acid wash tank that electrocuted the plastic so the chrome sticks in the acid wash tanks. But they never told us how to fix it once the sun wrecks it lol i know u can order new parts but im not sure of those ones for that yr. I used to rack them all on huge racks for magna international lol
If you dont like the chrome easiest thing you might want to do is wrap it . Wont cost as much as a full paint job.
And doesn’t hurt as bad when a rock hits
How my paint was on 98 Silverado, I ordered side moldings from LMC truck and I'm just gonna lay and quick layer of black paint over the bad spots and replace the moldings
Get it painted man!!! The black diamond would be awesome. On a side note man I hate that she has been treating you pretty bad. I believe you have to order these moldings from the dealer. Great video! Keep the Sierra content coming!
Look into painting it dark spiral gray (metallic charcoal) I have it on my truck and it’s 🔥🔥🔥
Look on carid for the trim they usually have a lot of stuff for those older trucks
Lmc truck has them. I bought a used truck that someone has took them off. The new trim comes in a roll and you have to cut it but it’s just like oem!
My Grandpa was a used car salesman, and owned his own lot.
He always told me. "Never buy a car on a rainy day".
Definitely do a nice shiny black it looks amazing
You should definitely get a cowl hood for it if you repaint it
Had the same thing happen to me. Ended up ordering new ones from gm
Would love to see a full paint correction instead of a new paint job… I think that would be super interesting and would better match the fender flares when you get them painted and would be cheaper that a full respray… ?!?!
Can’t wait to see the “new” GMC… hopefully it’s worth the hype that GM is pushing
sand the chrome tape around it paint moldings black use black silicone around edges i did that on mine looks fine
the title of the vid tho😂 but fr that paint lookin rough. love the content tho
I would strip the chrome off those molding pieces and wrap them in carbon fiber vinyl.just an idea.
Or even just black. I hate chrome of any kind so I’m def bias.
I gotta do mine so i hope this works watchin now. 😮
You could just dig a hole and bury it. That would be a lot cheaper lol. Idk why you’d waste money on painting that old gasser if you already have a new one on the way. Spend your money on making the new one the way you want. If it was a classic or square body, I could see it being with the time/money… Just my opinion.
Try Keystone for the molding. And dont put them on until you paint it!
Word of advice repaint the truck after you do the lift wheels rock lights bumpers ETC because it’s gonna be hard not to scratch or scuff the new paint doing those mods.
Love the content love the truck chase
literally the exact same way mine went on my sierra, moldings started not looking good so i peeled them off and it took the paint right down to the primer
I kinda like the side molding it kinda ties everything together
Lmc catalog did have them I changed the color match ones for chrome on my Denali
What getting the side moldings wrapped in chrome??
Nice clean truck i like the chrome it looks great. .can you use a front door Chrome and cut it to fit on the rear door
The black diamond is sick, a dark blue with metallic would be sick too
I have black diamond on my Ram and it really is nice.
Deep ruby metallic is hands down one of GM’s top colors imo.
also victory red
the side molding pieces are on ebay , first thing that pops up when you type it in.
I used a heat gun , worked quick and easy....no problems ..!
Where did you get the new molding from
You should do Illusion gray like Dirtymax Jack did on his f250 would look amazing
Black Diamond has my vote for sure
Mine were the same way.Wish I didn’t take them off because they don’t make them anymore. They only make thin stainless steel ones. I’m in Michigan btw
Have a great rest of your week!
Do you use fishing braid or regular mono? I feel braid would saw though better.
yes paint it black with the metallic flake 😍 i want to mine mine like that so much
Get chrome mirror plates also!
What lb. Fishing line was that?
You should get chrome weather strip on the window seal
Im gonnado this with my 2004 gmc, replaced the tailgate so those badges are gone, getting bumpers replaced on monday
mine did the same left a whole line of paint gone 😅
Repaint the entire truck black, color match all of the chrome and plastics!
lmc trucks online has them. ordered some for my truck a couple weeks ago. same model as yours
Looks like a repaint is coming sooner than expected
Should be able to find them on LMC.
the black diamond color would be dope ash
To bad Earl Scheib isn't in business in the day only $19.95. Uh oh better get Maaco!
Why don’t you sand the trim, prime it then wrap it in chrome. It’s a little bit of work but you save/ it’ll look good
oof... you'll get it fixed!!!
My white truck did the same thing it’s an 04 gmc extended cab
My dude love the cat eye body style
Not really surprised with old paint gremlins. Those moldings cut down on door dings from idiots in parking lots.
Should have took the trim off, pressure washed the double sided tape and then used the 3m wheel, pained the spots on the door and then plastic dip the trim black and then re installed
Seems to be more a GMC issue than it is on Chevys. I had 2 GMCs do the same thing on the pointed ends of the trim.
get black diamond or whatever it is, definitely something with flake in it
Mine in the same color did the same thing.
Man when are you going to cam it? I can’t wait for it. And I’m not even a Chevy guy😂
Lmc truck should have that trim for a crewcab
Go to the body shop you use and they should be able to order oem moldings
LMC truck is a great place to look
2inch wheel spacers next!
I think we're ordered them fro. Was gm parts plus
Man you have a nice place there sir.
You should take all the trim off and then paint the truck and put whatever trim you want back on
Shoudlve double or triple wrapped that floss to make the floss thicker
When u gonna give it a 6-8 inch bracket lift🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nah dude my F150 is a shitbox. That's a nice looking pickup
Go Ryan Mayer style and have it painted some off the wall color that you don’t see on a daily basis
What about wrapping it?
My pewter color z71 05 did the same on top smh
You could paint it black and then take a vote on what kind of flake you put in the paint.
Just please don’t paint it white. 😂. Charcoal perhaps?
I wonder if the chrome bubbling, indicates a paint issue underneath. Like your front passenger side, wasn’t bad but the rear passenger was bad and bubbling. We’ll never know tho.
Color match all black just wet sand and buff will look awesome
I did this to my 06 Sierra and the whole paint is bubbly in only 1 side, the other side came out beautiful though😐
because the sun usually hits a certain part of the truck more then the other when it’s parked outside
Lookin good! 🤑🔥
u should get the crome door handles
I had the same thing happen when I did mine and I wanted to cry haha
the color from the Cadillac is called Carbon Flash Metallic.
You should do Bermuda blue ,o don’t think they made the gmcs in that color
If you’re gonna paint stay black. You’ll never get a perfect paint job if you switch colors. Redo the black and add some flake and some heavy clear it’ll look perfect
I heard good luck with LKQ or keystone
Paint it a nice sliver. Sliver and chrome!!!
I think the color you are looking for is Black Granite
That GMC's alright she's aged pretty well she just needs some love somebody's who is going to bring her back to her former glory
New to your channel question what dose the initials stand for?
Loud MF Super-crew(screw). It was an old truck of his
Loud modified fast crew
