I think some good shine could be brought back from this original paint
I think so to, here is hopefully a peek at how much it comes back to life with a little bit of effort. May be hard to tell, but in this shot I have not done the tailgate..

Thanks for the photo, I think I will do it some weekend my wife is out of town so she will be shocked that the truck now looks "nice"

prepped and painted the buddy bucket center box.

Need to add a stop to the back for the suburban if anyone has done it before

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?

I replaced my halogen 6 inch Unity spotlight bulb with a Whelen PAR146 LED spotlight bulb from Sirennet. A couple of before and afters. I went from about 1000 lumens to around 2000. The amp draw is significantly less as well.

Before shot illuminating some masking paper on my toolbox.

Another before, the light isn't shining directly at the camera, it washed out the shot too much. Notice the reflection on the hood compared to the last pic, noticeable difference.

After. Spot detail is much more defined. I am certain that at night this more focused beam will broadcast much further with better clarity.
