I heard (from a local Hummer body shop) that if you tried to paint the black molding trim pieces, it will eventually flake off. Did you ask Sewell if it came painted? or if they painted it?
Anyone else know or have 1st hand experience on this?
How many miles was the drive back to Phoenix?

dvl57,
It was 1051 miles from Dallas to Phoenix, we took a bit of a detour on I-30 east for awhile until we realized we have to go west to get home. Dohh... in all it was about 1200 miles with that "little" detour included. We left at Sewell at 1pm and got home at 7:30am. An hour getting across Dallas at Friday rush hour was below average at about 20 MPH. Trip average was 58.5 MPH including time spent eating/gassing/peeing. You definitely fall in love or hate with a vehicle on a trip like that. I love this one...
It appears that the original owner had the pieces painted and most of the work was done at Sewell. The color match is great but I think that it will eventually flake off based on my quick inspection. When eventually is? Who knows? I am a little concerned about it, but not too much as there is little that I can do about it now. I can hopefully replace those pieces if that time comes. I intend to drive this thing for a LONG time...
Bob
