Nice, I see your point. I'm hoping the trim along the windows, mirrors, door handles, emblems and chrome inserts in the wheels all help from that aspect as well, however they are much smaller components.

Here is some photoshop to help!

If you did the tail lights I think that would look really good for sure. The chrome trim honestly if you color matched it or did it iridium it’s one of those things that would look good no matter what. Personally I would colormatch it and get you some nerf bars and paint those iridium

Do you know anyone that has dones these new LED Tails? I'd love to do that but TBH I'm a bit gun-shy to pull these expensive things apart...

That helps a ton! Thank you so much! Between this and the AD for the truck below color-matched, I definitely think this is something that I want to do now.

In Photoshop, is there any way to give the truck a satin-finish appearance???

Thanks! The first time I saw this color I knew it would be on my next truck.

Thank you sir! I thought about trading it for a mineral metallic but I’ve dropped too much in it, that’s why I was curious about the color code, to debate painting mine!

GUYS, this is almost exactly what I'm talking about! Can't tell if the wheels are 20 or 22s (but they look friggin sweet!) and in the pic it's hard to tell whether the front is actually a grey or just straight color-matched (which I'm 99% sure is the case for the moldings, mirror caps, door handles and emblems). Regardless though, this is a close enough real-world example to confirm what I have in my head would actually look legit!

I actually just had the dealer put on the Borla Touring exhaust on friday as well (however they installed the wrong part no. even after I provided it to them, then the parts mgr. tried to argue with my service rep about it, but that's another story and they're fixing it this week).

I don't think I'm on board with the straight blacked-out Tails and 3rd Brake lights though..

There is actually a member in these forums somewhere, the very first thing he did when he got his truck was open up his taillights and black out all the chrome, I was hoping he’d chime in by now

I don't think I can create a satin finish

You are correct that it is a Denali Ultimate, however those are not the wheels available with the Ultimate package. The wheel (I'm assuming you meant door..?) moldings are available from GM in some colors, but not in the Mineral Metallic specifically. This is because Mineral Metallic is ONLY available on the Denali trucks (if you think you've seen the same color, it's close, but that would be Pepperdust). Since ALL Denalis come with Chrome door moldings, they do not produce a Mineral Metallic painted door molding at all.

Quite unfortunate, seems pretty par for the course that this would only be an issue with the specific color that I chose and sought out though lol
