Custom 2026 GMC Yukon Denali in Glacier White

Custom 2026 GMC Yukon Denali in Glacier White Tricoat with blacked-out grille, chrome delete, and black 24-inch wheels parked at Dave Sinclair Buick GMC

We just completed our first custom 2026 GMC Yukon Denali in Glacier White Tricoat, and this build turned out spectacular. In this blog, we’ll walk through every upgrade we made to this full-size SUV — from the paint booth to accessories — and share what makes this Yukon stand out.

At the time of this blog's publishing, this Yukon is still available.

If it has been sold by the time you’re reading this, we’re more than happy to recreate a similar custom build or help you start a unique customization of your own.

Full Chrome Delete on the 2026 Yukon Denali

One of the biggest visual transformations on this Yukon started with a complete chrome delete. Nearly every chrome accent on the SUV was removed, painted, and reinstalled right here in our paint booth.

Our painters start by removing chrome pieces, sanding them down, painting them to match or contrast the vehicle, and then reinstalling them. Some components — like the GMC emblems and grille — are more involved than others, but the result is absolutely worth the effort.

For this Yukon, we took the chrome delete up a notch by doing two-tone emblem work:

  • Front emblem: Black and white contrast

  • Rear emblem: White and black contrast

Customers sometimes request an illuminated front emblem, and the rear emblem color choice often comes down to preference. In most builds, we lean toward matching the body color with black trim accents.

Not every piece of trim can be removed — for example, exhaust tips stay in place. In these areas, we remove the bumper, mask the vehicle, and use high-heat-resistant black paint for a clean, durable finish. For the side window trim and running boards, we use premium vinyl wraps to achieve the desired look.


Wheel and Tire Upgrades on This Custom Yukon

This custom Yukon rolls on an upgraded set of NITTO Recon Grappler tires, giving it both rugged capability and standout stance. The OEM 24-inch rims were powder coated black to match the build’s aesthetic.

We also swapped in black center caps and lug nuts, and added black GMC caliper covers that peek through the spokes for a cohesive, aggressive look.

Unlike many truck and SUV builds, we do not install lifts or leveling kits on our Yukons — so this Yukon sits at its factory ride height, preserving its on-road comfort and suspension tuning.

Accessories Added to This Custom GMC Yukon

To round out this Yukon customization, we added a suite of accessories that enhance both style and everyday usability:

  • Window tinting for privacy and sun protection

  • Roof cross rails for additional cargo capability

  • Window guards for added protection

  • All-weather floor liners in all three rows for practical, year-round protection

These accessories bring together form and function — giving the vehicle a finished look that’s also equipped for real-world use.

About the Glacier White Tricoat Yukon Denali

This build marks our first custom Yukon in Glacier White Tricoat — a fresh, premium white that replaces the former White Frost Tricoat color (no longer available). Whereas White Frost leaned warmer and creamier, Glacier White presents a cooler tone with a slight blue hue. For buyers seeking a neutral white finish, Summit White remains an available option.

This particular Yukon Denali Ultimate was ordered from the factory with additional high-end features like Night Vision and the enhanced trailering package, adding capability and technology that match its customized aesthetic.
