De-chrome my H2

Post by citiboy »

Hey guys, just finished de-chroming my H2....i left some chrome so it still has some contrast with the black....what did you guys think....completely blacked-out <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... rgreen.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mrgreen:' /> .



I used 3 coats of VHT Nite-Shades black translucent and 2 coats of Duplicolor Clear Coat for all the light housing, 2 coats of Duplicolor Bed Armor for the roof racks, 3 coats of Duplicolor High Gloss Enamel and 3 coats of Duplicolor Clear coat for hood latch, fuel door, side mirror cover, hood handle, front grill and license plate holder and of course a good sunny day <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... rgreen.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mrgreen:' /> .

Looks Sweet.. Have you considered doing the front and rear plates? I think I am going to do the one on the front of my H3... But your rig looks awesome.. Good job.

Hey Patrick, should do it, i think blacked-out H2 looks badass. I bought the u-steps brand new still on the packaging at kijiji for a whopping $150.00 for 4, it's missing all the bolts, no biggie ...i bought the stainless bolts for $12.00 at fastenal, it's a bag of 10 bolts. This is the perfect steps for the H2 since my truck now sits a little higher than before, especially the wifey is having a hard time gettin' in and out <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... rgreen.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mrgreen:' /> , plus it's easier to remove for off-road. I will be puttin' the tubular chrome side steps for sale, any takers...let me know..it will be on the classified section soon but i have to take pics.
