    Yes, I believe that does match up with your hand. I'm tricky like that! Ya gotta watch out for me! I'm a stealth snapper!
    I was just using my super zoom and when you turned your head to the left I snapped it. I can see your hair in the far left...or is that your beard??

    I agree Grif, none of the perm products seem to add much color. That Bondo stuff was like a dye of some sort, but too hard to control evenness of application and Rick & Eric both said it was pretty bad anyway.

    I'm getting more and more drawn to the GB.

    Spent about 2 hrs the other day trying to blast that darn last 5% of R/R off...boy it's a bugger! Still have some left. Concentrated on the front & rear bumpers so I MAYBE I can do the GatorBack before I install the 2 skids.....just maybe it will all work out. Yes, I realize the skids will cover the area BTW.

    I just remembered today I'd taken the chunk of cladding Dub cut out for the hitch...well, I've decided I'm going to use it to do some experimenting...going cough up the $20 or so for one can of GB hopefully avail at my local Chevy dealership. Just goin' play with it... scratch it, scuff it, patch it and see if it blends easy....etc... Let's hope.....

    Beau- Do you have any cladding chunks you can experiment with also??

    Sue,

    I can send you the piece of cladding immediately behind the front driver's wheel so that you can experiment to your heart's content. I have the entire nose cone too but that would be expensive to ship. Both pieces have been trimmed so prolly not useful for replacing anyone's damaged pieces.

    Lemme know if you're interested.
