Cladding Restoration...so Easy & Dope!

Mike -- thanks for pics, but to me your cladding didn't look much faded on the before photos either.

Please do post if the color changes in a couple of months -- I might do this next spring.

stangri: the pics make my cladding look really dark in the before pics, but they were really pretty light. there were swirl marks and water stains.... i'll keep u updated on the wear n tear. as for now tho, i'd say it's a no-brainer.

It's hard to judge how faded your cladding was because you took the pics in the shade. Of course it's too late to rectify that now, but do you think you could take some new pics in the sunlight? That would be really helpful, as most cladding looks much more gray in direct sunlight.

Looks nice homey.

Ok I did some research and found the original ebay listing pics from when i bought the truck...
the rear bumper cladding was replaced 2 years ago, so it's pretty dark, but if u compare it to the side cladding from '99, u can now see exactly how badly faded the cladding was before i restored it.
also, this stuff is definitely not relabled spraypaint. as soon as it is sprayed, it smells way different, looks different, settles different. it is available in 3 colors to accommodate for GM's different cladding colors.
if anyone is in the NY/long island area and wants to come see and touch it for yerself as a third party witness, please contact me. i don't want to endorse anything that will not live up to the expectations that i have given it, but i do want to help everyone on the forum, so please come check it out....
