If your Cadillac Escalade is black or dark gray metallic - or if you simply don't like that chrome triumph that is the front grille - this video is for you: the YouTuber shows us how to best mask the front of the Cadillac Escalade using masking tape and extra paper to avoid spraying the body.

After properly covering the grille, the beautiful logo in the center, and a good part of the hood and fenders, you can proceed to spray painting.

A good spray can of paint costs between $9 and $25 on major e-commerce platforms: it depends on the brand and the amount of paint in the can. You'll need quite a bit since the grille is very wide. Start painting.

Decide for yourself the level of coverage you want, whether you want one coat or two. Allow to air dry very well for at least 24 hours. In fact, the black grille looks much better and is less flashy.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
