So I have a 2017 QC express in brilliant black and I love it even tho I may kill myself trying to keep it clean... I'm leveling it up on Monday and looking into pocket flares. I love the look of it especially painted to match and there's a lot of sharp trucks on here that have them. I'm curious if anyone is running this color with matte black accessories tho, such fender flares badges or rims so I can get an idea of how the matte black would look if i went that route. Thanks!!

I've gone unpainted so far with flares and cab spoiler. Thought I might paint match eventually but I'm plenty happy with it.

Thanks nateinva! I've looked at your truck multiple times on here but didn't realize the flares weren't paint matched.... sharp truck!!!

Haha, yes some angles it's hard to tell and others the difference in color sticks out more. Thank you sir!

Here you go and this is the cheap route with plastidip. You can get away with it on a black truck! Wheels are not dipped and are gloss, but if they were matte, they would be fine, maybe even better. IMO!!

This is how Ur beast would look color matched. I shadowchromed badges, handles , fog lights and mirror lights . Had bumpers painted to get rid of chrome. ( This is a bighorn )
IMO I think color match always looks better .! Good luck

I've been using Meguiars lately, combinations of compound, polish and detail wax. Clay bar a couple times a year is good to..
