Ever notice how the bottom color on a two tone Silverado stops at the tailgate? I had that taken care of when I had some tailgate repairs on the other guy's tab

My parents did the same when they got their '99 Tahoe. Basically took delivery and went straight to the paint shop to have it touched up.

I don't know why they don't go all the way around with the paint from the factory, but GM's not the only one who does this. IMO, it made the truck look like I had replaced the tailgate with one off of a non-two tone truck.
BTW, in the pics, my truck is parked in front of the place that did the work for me. I highly recommend them, if you're in the Cobb County, GA area

Looks great Blender! It's one of those little things that surprises you how much better it actually makes it look.

My buddy drove a brand new solid black Z to his body shop and had dark charcoal sprayed on the bottom. made worlds of difference

Yeah, their work is a dead on match; they had to redo the whole tailgate. An employee at Home Depot was wheeling out a cart full of OSB for me when I was redoing my roof, and he ran it right into the tailgate.
I'm friends with the owner of the shop, and he said he'd do the two tone while he was at it.
They've also worked on my wife's car before, and made a dead-on match with the paint, then, too
Cool guys, and one of the men who worked a lot on my truck just got himself a Silverado. I guess he liked mine.
