I need to go ahead and take the drivers seat out and set it on fire and burn off the old foam and have it sandblasted. Won't be able to drive it while my seats are out...but when I get them back they will be the right color...

Its my dream color too! I will someday build a tribute to my first truck ever.
But im going to do it like you did and do a white stripe instead of having the white go all the way to the bottom. To this day, my biggest regret in life (mostly) is getting rid of that suburban. I robbed its guts and put them in a blazer that i couldn't get a title for. I was 15 and my dad gave me the truck. It was half his fault though as he gave me the idea as well...

I have never heard of the peeling issue. I would bet it has to do with poor prep. Lots of dudes use stuff like dynomat on their roofs and dont have issues.

What did the paint code end up being? Was it WA4368?

Excellent. Thanks man! I really want to startmy pproject in the next 2 years.
Anything I've heard of that did that was poorly prepped knockoff stuff.
Before you apply the dynamat, its a good idea to wipe down the surface with some paint prep to ensure no dirt, dust, or grease prevents it from adhering. Also use the little wooden roller thingy to work the mat into corners and around curves. Once you roll it, there's no way that stuff isn't coming back up without a fight.
Anybody got the drivers side door lock "rod" piece that attaches to the latch mechanism and then runs up through the hole and the lock knob screws onto it?
LMC doesn't have that piece...not sure what holds it on....not sure if mine ever had it or if I have lost it...LMC diagram shows it grayed out...

I probably still have one.
Give me a couple of days and I will find it for you.
