Once you go black.....Car Porn Inside

So Shaun here on the board found a leftover 2018 Callaway Silverado with a blower on it and being it's pure black, the first thing he thought of was getting this baby detailed and fully corrected.

 

It was a leftover that sat on the dealers lot long enough to have the sun begin to take it's toll on the plastic cowling and trim but I made short-order of any fading and got all the trim back to new and coated to stay that way. That wasn't enough so add in some dealer installed scratches on the tailgate and swirls (not horrible but there and noticeable) it was crying out for some help. The truck corrected to nicely and is about 98% flawless. As part of the detail, I also removed the windshield banner and another decal that was across 1/2 of the back window. The clean look is so much nicer.

 

The truck only had 250 miles on it when purchased but he did take a long trip with her plastering 1,234 bugs to the front of it that needed removed too.

 

Proceeding with a full New Vehicle Polish & Protect Package including coatings over everything (paint, glass, wheels, trim & chrome) was a good move, especially given it's pure back and a real PIA to care for over time. All the work however is worth it though as nothing looks as good as black when it's cleaned up and fully corrected. Onto the pics.....

Thanks again Shaun for trusting in my work and letting me get this beast show car worthy. The blast down the street was fun too. Next time maybe we'll have more road to let 3rd gear really open up as it was VERY clear she wanted to push everyone ahead out of the way :cool:

Thanks again Tim, it's pretty unbelievable work.

Not sure what else I could have had you do, but I'm glad I went with everything, I definitely would have regretted leaving any piece out after seeing it. I don't even know what the next level would be??

TAKE MY MONEY! LOL.

Yeah, it definitely needs a little more room to run, the top end is more impressive out of a truck. I think it's in need of a Dyno fine and tranny tune for sure. Maybe an ls9 cam..... Who knows, lol

Truck is shark looking. Not a fan of the old man chrome on it but it still looks good.
Thanks, and I get that. I haven't fully decided what direction I'm going with this truck, but it will require some of the chrome being removed. I'm kinda over the fully blacked out look as well, so I have to find a happy medium. Does anyone know much about the shadow chrome look, a professional method?
