Post your BLACK 3rd Gens

Did you have the grille painted? Is it gloss? Do you have any more pics? I'm looking to get the grille painted all black as well, just havent decided if I'm going to go matte or gloss.

 

Matte is good. I wish all my shiny black paint was flat black.

 

Blacked out the grill

 

Good day for Braaap!

 

I had to look that up.

 

Boy I miss the BRAAP from back in the day! Nothing like the sound of BRAAP!

 

And the smell when your behind that 2stroke BRAAP!

 

I just scuffed the emblem and grille, and painted it with a single stage high sheen hot rod black made by medallion. The grille trim is the oem SR black. I'll post more pics

And is he jealous?

 

subtle, but I'm glad I added clear bra especially for the black color. Every time I reached down to lift tailgate up i was grabbing this painted area. Now I don't have to worry about scratching it.

 

I have a Black 4x4 OR DCSB coming in August and have a question for all Black owners, How is your black in regards to depth of shine. When I first saw the black model at a local Dealership ( in late 2015 to a month ago) I saw nothing wrong with the shine but I just saw two Sport models this week at the dealer and the Black finish sucked. I could not get a clear reflection of myself when looking in both front fenders. How is your paint finish? Black should be the deepest of all the colors and the reflection was blurry, Silver had a better reflection. I am a professional painter so it does bother me that it would be that bad.

 

Mines really really shiny. Waxed it soon as I got her home. Can see my reflection and tons of other reflections off of it. Only down side is it scratches super easy

 

Did the exact same thing buddy.
First thing I noticed when I went to lift that heavy tailgate.
Along with the door handle cups.

 

This may sound stupid but I'm asking anyways. How do you wax a truck? I don't have black, mine is white but I would like to know how to wax it!

basically wash and dry your truck. apply a wax in a circular motion with a microfiber cloth or other wax applying cloth, let it sit a cpl minutes till it hazes over and remove with a clean microfiber cloth also in circular motion. wax on, wax off. literally. do a section at a time so the wax doesn't harden to much or dry before removing
