Plastics on rear

[dboysen]

Just recently bought an avalanche and the rear plastic is just a black plastic but I see other avalanches that are painted same color as their truck. Was wondering if those can be painted or someone knows where you can buy them that match your paint

yes cladding can be painted...can be coated with linex too. or wrap.

But the texture is seomthing you have to take care off if painted or wrapped.

GM sanded them smooth and then painted on Caddys as standard and then some chevys as option or part of some package I think after 2007....

I forget someone will correct me... but in mean time.

If you are planning to paint them yourself, I like to point people to this thread. I didn't start the topic, but I used his instructions. I had never painted anything in my life. https://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php?threads/cladding-my-journey.147649/
