Tore the console apart again to change the color. This is a MUCH better match than the SEM super white- should have just had them mix it in the first place- oh well...

Top is super white, lid is the custom mix:

Chris, I'm getting ready to paint a few things on the interior of my Blazer to match my parchment seats. I've gotten the SEM color card in and the super white looks to be a perfect match, but I keep coming back to this thread and looking at how far off it was in reality. I've tried to use a color match camera that my painter buddy has, but it doesn't come up with a formula for that color. Is there any chance that you have a color code, formula, etc. for your custom mix that you used on your console?

gringoloco · 06-26-2016, 11:59 AM

They're coming home!

smbrouss70 · 06-26-2016, 04:21 PM

WOO HOO! Does that mean you are back in the states, ready to ruin more stuff?

**DeadheadNM** · 06-26-2016, 04:34 PM

Nice trucks!

Mike (fine69) dropped the trucks off tonight, ahead of schedule. Great guy to do business with. Highly recommend his services if you're in need. Now, I just need my tools and parts to show up (not to mention all of our furniture...)

Thanks all! Good to be back. All of the house stuff is here and we are OVER moving. Tools and garage stuff is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Maybe I'll find some time soon to install these PB parts I have sitting in boxes

Oh, that final update belongs in the other truck thread

smbrouss70 · 07-05-2016, 10:39 PM

Wait! What?

Chulisohombre · 07-06-2016, 12:02 AM

Always good to Be back Home. Enjoy. It feels like forever waiting on your household goods to arrive. At least you got your trucks back.

gringoloco · 08-11-2016, 03:01 PM

One of these things (in the work parking lot) is not like the others...

gringoloco · 08-11-2016, 03:34 PM

Oh, and I recently installed my ironcanine jacking instructions decal. High quality!

Chulisohombre · 08-11-2016, 04:29 PM

Awesome. My blazer definitely stands out in a parking lot as well. Does help it sits on a 5 inch lift and 35 inch tires though. Lol

I seen your post on Iron's decal thread also. Curious is that spare still 31" or did you change to 33". Wondering how much space there is to the bedside while it is mounted in the holder?

gringoloco · 08-11-2016, 11:46 PM

I'm on 31s. Id say there's a good 3-4" there. A 33 should fit, though it will make hard to use the rear view mirror

gringoloco · 08-12-2016, 09:31 PM

I think they were ready...

gringoloco · 09-18-2016, 12:07 PM

Man, these things come apart easy. Check out my new drivers seat, almost correct factory parchment
