Decided to start with the sub box...before

Then the rear doors...

Today I painted the top of the rear doors grey and got them completed and finished all the other stuff on the headliner (vents, handles, etc.) but didn't take pics yet.
Also got the windows tinted

What you've done looks great. i think it'd be better without those running boards though.

Koots

07-01-2008, 10:39 PM

If you like the running boards, keep em. Otherwise you would have a super clean Hoe (like the badge too :rocking: ) what kind of wheels are those?

mikeharris

07-02-2008, 08:15 AM

Thanks guys I'm not sure about the running boards myself too, I just dont want to see the frame if I take them off, I need to just try it I guess.
The wheels are Boss 330s

DirtyGmc

07-02-2008, 08:26 AM

looks good.

is it 2wd or 4wd? i think it would look killer with maybe 2" of drop to fill the wheel wells a little more. Id also keep the running boards to keep the paint from chipping.

Koots

07-02-2008, 08:32 AM

I had a problem with ugly exposed frame, so i just layered on a few quick coats of spray paint. But like i said, don't get rid of them just because some people tell you too :)

What are your future plans for the "Hoe"?

mikeharris

07-02-2008, 09:51 AM

Its 4WD, not sure about lowering it, prolly nit but nit 100% sure yet, I like the stance right now.

Future plans include exhaust, color matched bumpers, and prolly headlights to finish the exterior, also a tahoe emblem from the 07 and up models to go in the bodyline.
Interior I wanna fiberglass a double din into the dash and do speaker pods for two sets of compnents up front. Finish interior with black carpet and do the door panels then thats prolly it

mikeharris

07-02-2008, 09:57 AM

I forgot about the seats, def. gonna redo those too, light grey with black suede inserts, and to somethin to the brakes too, maybe some headrest screens for the front seats :dunno:

DarkCharisma

07-02-2008, 01:06 PM

Awesome looking 'hoe, I'd keep the badges but ditch the running boards, imo.

Thats kinda what I'm leanin towards, but maybe try it myself or take it to a pro to get it done. I just dont want it to turn out like some I've seen and be all wrinkled and ****, but I would def like to tackle it myself. I guess we'll see, it will be a while anyways.

how hard was it to do your headliner? and what kind/color paint did you use? awesome work bro!

mikeharris

07-03-2008, 11:35 AM

how hard was it to do your headliner? and what kind/color paint did you use? awesome work bro!

My headliner was kinda tough only because of the rear A/C with all the contours.
For the paint I used SEM interior/vinyl spray paint...Landau black and Storm Grey.

XLR8N

07-03-2008, 11:37 AM

did you use faux suede?

LOL thanks guys, I'm tryin not to overdue it, just wanna keep it clean and simple, but still custom.
And yes it is fake suede, the real stuff is outrageous, no way would I spend that much for a headliner...unless I was a baller I guess

Your Tahoe is looking real good. Good job! Where did you order your fake suede from?

DarkCharisma

I'm also interested in the suede, I'd like to do my door panels with that, or possibly headliner.

mikeharris

07-05-2008, 09:41 AM

I got all my fabrics and paint from a local fabric warehouse.

Everything is looking really good. This change is gonna make a huge difference in your truck.

mikeharris

07-08-2008, 08:14 PM

Alright small update, pulled the rest of the panels out and finished one visor and started the other. Also had to grind the head off of one of the rear seat belt bolts cuz I stripped it, any ideas how to get it out?

hey mikeharris, is your truck a 4x4? and are you sanding those pieces smooth? my interior is the same color as yours but im thinking of either dying it or sanding everything down..

mikeharris

07-08-2008, 09:24 PM

hey mikeharris, is your truck a 4x4? and are you sanding those pieces smooth? my interior is the same color as yours but im thinking of either dying it or sanding everything down..

Yeah its 4x4, I'm not sanding any of the pieces cuz I want it to look stock so I'm leaving the texture. On the door panels and some pieces I'm using adhesion promoter tho so it grabs a bit better. Even clear coating some things

XLR8N

07-09-2008, 05:08 AM

drill it out with a drill bit if you grinded the head off

kev2809

07-09-2008, 03:01 PM

damn, it looks super clean. do your wheels stick out any in the front? and are they 22's?

runninclean

07-09-2008, 03:48 PM

The visors turned out nice. Have you done any panel wrapping and painting before? The reason I ask is because I know it's not as simple as you're making it look. lol

mikeharris

07-09-2008, 08:16 PM

drill it out with a drill bit if you grinded the head off
I'll prolly try that its just a hard ass bolt, it took forever just to cut the head off.

The wheels are 24s, and yes they do stick out some in the front, which is the only part about them I don't really care for, but ehh whatever.

And I have done a little interior work before, I helped a buddy on his interior, all I did was the headliner and the pillars, and painted one door. I think the key to it all os patience and attention to detail, I try and take my time with it all and just go piece by piece.

Thanks for the props guys, no updates really as I am busy building a sub box for a guy and waiting for my carpet to dry and rain to stop so I can try and dye it and paint some more pieces
I'll post pics as soon as I get some work done tho

ntimidator_3

07-09-2008, 11:45 PM

did you split the visors to do them? If so what did you use to glue them back together. Alsi, I ordered my seat covers from these guys Seat-Covers (http://stores.ebay.com/Iggee-Custom-Seat-Covers) they have some 2 tone you would like and good prices. embroidered headrests or seatbacks available also

KermittfromLIB

07-10-2008, 12:10 AM

The doors look amazing! I love the color with the suede. Judging by the picture you painted the doors correct? Is that the storm grey you mentioned? The headliner and visors look perfect! Seeing these pictures is making me want to do this sooner and sooner.

By the way, good choice on the Beam :cheer:

LesFex

07-10-2008, 05:23 AM

Good job!!! running boards looking great...Keep it up :nopity:

91blkstpsd

07-10-2008, 06:44 AM

Looks good. I had dyed my interior black and using charcoal suede for the headliner and doors. How did you cover the visors? Thats all im lacking. lol

mikeharris

07-10-2008, 07:16 AM

Thanks guys
Yes the doors and panels are painted with the storm grey, for the visors I just split them and cut all the fabric off and wrapped them then painted theplastic pieces. Then I squirted some loctite stuff on them, the stuff from the commercial you ise with a caulk gun and clamped them til they dried.
I'm gonna check out those seat covers asap, I'm gonna need some to finish the interior fully.

mikeharris

the dash will be painted as well, same color grey, and I plan on glassing in a double din, thats prolly it for the dash tho

KermittfromLIB

07-10-2008, 03:31 PM

So far that is just about everything I want to do to my interior haha. Pics look great. I can't wait to see the finished look!

I know you said the color was storm grey and when I looked at SEM paint colors your grey and their grey don't seem to match. I love the color of yours but it looks a lot whiter than their grey...

mikeharris

07-10-2008, 07:58 PM

I was pretty skeptical about the color at first too so I looked at all the greys available and landed on storm grey. It does come out lighter than expected tho, but that is actually what I was hoping for, the color is exactly the shade I wanted.
heres a pic of the can and cap if that helps
http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn97/mikeharris1288/MikesPictures111.jpg
And here is what I did today, I dyed the rear piece of carpet, just used rit black dye and put it in a squirt bottle, def came out better than I was expecting, just gotta wait for it to dry

07-12-2008, 12:01 PM

damn, after seeing that dyed carpet im really starting to think i should change my interior around. i really didnt want to cuz i just bought carpet but now i might just do it :smile:

mikeharris

07-12-2008, 09:00 PM

you should give a shot. I think a couple applications would work best and then clean it afterwards cuz it will rub off even after its dry. I put it in today and am pleased with the results, its not a super rich black but the rest of my interior is so dark its hard to tell.
It also prolly doesn't help that I went from a light color to a dark color, give it a shot, that rear piece cost me a total of about $15 to do and took about an hour to cover, then just had to let it dry

kev2809

07-13-2008, 10:24 AM

does it have to be real stock carpet? when i replaced my carpet i got "the next best thing". so its not like oem carpet but that other stuff that looks like carpet...can that be dyed?

I think it just depends on what your material is made out of, some materials do not accept dye.
I am not sure what will and what will not accept dye but I know polyester will not. I would check with a fabric store or somethin just to make sure

KermittfromLIB

07-17-2008, 09:43 PM

Mike,
I drive a 2003 ECSB Arrival Blue Silverado. I have been debating white katzkin's with some black suede inserts with their pacific blue trim but until this thread the idea had been slipping since nothing else is white (except for the faces of the escalde gauges.) I love the way your truck is turning out and I am now revisting old idea's with with white since that storm grey looks pretty white.

Since you obviously know what it looks like in person, do you think it would be "off" if I matched it with white leather? One other downside is that with a black interior the limo tint would look a lot darker whereas a white interior would lighten up the tint.

So many options, I just need to get stated on something. I'll try and post up some pictures of my truck tonight.

mikeharris

07-17-2008, 10:32 PM

Kev2809 the dash is just gonna be prepped and painted, no sanding. I wanna keep the texture on everything to make it look like it had always been that color from the factory.

Kermitt, your def right about the tint, my interior is super dark, but it doesn't bother me. If you did white then I would think it should be relatively lighter inside the cab.
Personally I would not do the storm grey with white leather. SEM does make about three shades of grey tho, on is fairly close to the dark grey interior of your body truck, and the other is in between that and storm grey. I would go with one of the darker ones to give it some contrast. Just like what your thoughts with white/blue were,
To me, white needs to be either subtle in an interior or dominant. You are thinking white/black/blue, I would stick with that and notbring grey into the equation at all. A 4 tone interior would be hard to pull off IMO

07-20-2008, 08:42 AM

Yea, I'm going to have to go look at the Katzkin leathers and then go get some of that SEM paint to see what is going to match the closest. I definitely don't want to have white/grey/black and blue haha. That would be way too busy.

As you can tell by what im doin I like grey/black, but I also think a dark grey/blue would go well if done right. Use the grey as your main color (or possibly black) and tie in some blue accents, such as seat inserts and door inserts???

mikeharris

07-21-2008, 07:56 PM

Not too much new stuff as I'm gettin close to done with the exception of the seats, but I did get the driver door panel done and the driver side visor done. I finished the a-pillars but no pics, nothin too exciting anyways. I also took off the steps and think I'm gonna leave em off, it cleans it up a lot, I sprayed the frame flat black as it was nasty lookin.

That whole result is just awesome. I'd like to do my 2dr's headliner over with the faux suede, I was thinking of gray for the headliner and maybe charcoal for the carpeting but I haven't decided. I'll probably wind up just putting a new gray carpet in if I do the ceiling gray.

mikeharris

07-28-2008, 08:03 PM

nice job. i really like all that you've done. how scratch resistant is that sem? ive been thinkin of changng the interior colors on my truck, but i dont want anything that will scratch off & look bad in a year. did you scuff the plastics with a scuff pad & use wax/grease remover, or you just sprayed them?
Its pretty good against scratches. The only areas where it is not holding up good is places on the doors that rub interior pieces everytime they open/close. I dont like it but nothin I can do about it, they will always rub. Everything else is working great, center console, door panels, etc. have not rubbed off at all anywhere.

Did some more work

mikeharris

07-28-2008, 09:42 PM

the dash will hopefully be comin out soon, I just gotta wait on the store to get more paint in, they're sayin this week sometime.
I got lucky with the screens and picked them up at a pawn shop, both for $125 out the door. They are icon screens so I got a great deal, they NIB. I easily saved $300+

[QUOTE=mikeharris]you should give a shot. I think a couple applications would work best and then clean it afterwards cuz it will rub off even after its dry. I put it in today and am pleased with the results, its not a super rich black but the rest of my interior is so dark its hard to tell.
It also prolly doesn't help that I went from a light color to a dark color, give it a shot, that rear piece cost me a total of about $15 to do and took about an hour to cover, then just had to let it dry[/QU what did you use to clean it after it dried? did the dye rub off after the cleaning?

[QUOTE=mikeharris]Its pretty good against scratches. The only areas where it is not holding up good is places on the doors that rub interior pieces everytime they open/close. I dont like it but nothin I can do about it, they will always rub. Everything else is working great, center console, door panels, etc. have not rubbed off at all anywhere.

are those kicker L7's tell me what you think about them.

Thanks guys. I have not cleaned the carpet yet and it is still rubbing off in spots.
Yes the subs are Kicker L7s, 15s. I like em, they are by no means a SQ sub but thats not what I am looking for. They get loud and hit the lows great with my box, but I used to have 2 12s in a pre-fab box and they hit hard too. Just diff. notes. Overall I like them

Your rig looks amazing, I wish I had the scene where I could have a vehicle to work on all the time and make it my own personal icon. I was looking at some speakers to go under the seat in my extended cab and the L5 8 inch put out the mild 1200 peak that I would want. I still dont know, too much to choose from!!!

This turned out great! You must have a lot of patience. That's good. I have a black Avalanche, I think I'm gonna look into doing something similar like this. Can't wait to see the finished product!

mikeharris

08-17-2008, 07:59 PM

Me too man, Im still waiting on the shop to get more paint. The guy I talked to said he thinks they may have ordered the wrong color.
It sucks cuz school is startin up next monday so I dunno If I'll have a lot of extra time on my hands in order to get the dash done. I hope so tho

LOL it has been awhile. I just got word from the guy at the fabric store that they got more paint in, so Ima pick some up soon and try to squeeze the dash in inbetween work and school.
I do have a new little project for the rear in the cargo area tho, so that may get movin soon

Look over the first few pages, I have nearly finished everything, all I have left is the seats and dash, which prolly wont becoming real soon, but other than that everything is done

LimitedChevy

10-03-2008, 08:23 AM

Yea, i checked out all the pics and I'm impressed. My only concern would be gettin a dye that is BLACK Black to match my leather when I get it done. Also, will the dye fade when I coat the light gray areas.

mikeharris

10-03-2008, 03:52 PM

I apllied a good bit of dye, and you are right it is not as black as it would be from the factory or if you ordered a new replacement carpet. You can only tell when the sun hits it tho. It almost has a purple tint to it, so I may eventually replace it with somethin anyways I dunno yet tho

LimitedChevy

10-04-2008, 04:55 PM

I'm planning on painting the doors completely black, will I have to use the paint that you used to paint your doors grey, or can I use the dye? and How well does the dye hold up on the Kick panels and other vinyls?

Looks sick man.

mikeharris

10-05-2008, 08:42 AM

Thanks Diesel_boy
Limited, I would recemmend using the SEM paint for the doors and all the plastics. It holds up well, on places you think will get more abuse, use adhesion promoter and a few more coats than usual

Yep yep, I'm goin to get started soon on my interior. Wonderin how all black is goin to come out. I know I need some sort of accents in there, especially on the dash.

mikeharris

10-07-2008, 08:47 AM

yeah all black would be really dark, when I replaced my headliner, which I did first, it darkened it up a bunch just from that. Then throw in black carpet, tint, seats and doors...it would be very dark I'm sure. What if you did black with like some dark grey inserts in the doors and stuff

LimitedChevy

10-07-2008, 09:54 AM

I've been thinkin about that. One thing i know is that i plan on gettin Katzkin to do my new seats, they have a dealer here in Memphis. My seats will be all black with light grey or dark grey stitchin, possibly with suede centers. If I do dark grey and black, I'll use the storm grey on the fabric of the door where the handle is and MAYBE on the bottom fabric where the speaker is. Also I might get those chrome interior door handles. Im goin to experiment with pieces from the junk yard after I clean them thoroughly of course. I'll post pics, and if you come across some more headrest monitors, let me know. I have an idea for some in the Limited!:aniteef:

mikeharris

10-07-2008, 03:05 PM

alright will do, you wouldn't happen to know a price of the Katzkin kit from said dealer would you?

LimitedChevy

10-07-2008, 11:46 PM

The dealer told me a rough estimate of about $985 for the front and rear seats. Not too bad, Don's Auto Upholstery to me about $1800. Don's has a great reputation but they are high as hell. Not too sure which one I'm gonna go with. I have the numbers if you need them.
