One weekend wheeling .... I found that black never looks the same after buffing, too many swirls....i also found that the black wheels scratched alot easier than chrome.....

New truck same options hopefully better color to hide imperfections and swirls from buffing...also the wheels are the same just chrome, and from seeing the guys/gals who were wheeling with me that had chrome with no scratches i had to go that route too.....

Very nice. What size rims/ tires are you running?
HHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMM...

Something's missing up on top.
something stainless that looks chromed but more durable.
Something that could have lights in it maybe.
something that doesn't sit any higher than your stock cross bars.

I think I have something that will work.
A first of its kind too.

Great looking truck, Dan. But the color sucks!

Black buffs best by hand. You can use an orbital (carefully) if you finish with really fine compound and a good coat of wax.

Nothing looks better. But timgco's Desert Sand with black SUT may look as good.

I had our Lexus dealership buff it to try to get all the scratches out and they are the best i have seen but to make it right again(which i am a freak about my belongings being in good condition) it would take color "wet" sanding to get them out and because the H2 have so much orange peel from the factory we would have to tape off and do all of the flat surfaces on both sides, but it would look better than new becuase the paint would be so flat....

Wow! If you need to buff out the orange peel to get the scratches out, they must be pretty deep. Hand buffing will take the scratches, but leave the peel. You might consider side shields when you go off-road.
