I was a busy fella today!

I don't know how to describe the colour properly. Indoors it seems to be more green. Outdoors, it's more goldish. Desert Sage Metallic, more or less.

The paint job wasn't very much. I did most of the work.

thanks all.

Type X "kit" - The front bumper and extensions as well as the skirts and wing came with the car when I bought it. I bought the lip from Performance Nissan. I got the rear valences from a local guy. Position lamps from DMAX. Hood from DMAX. Mirrors from a local guy (LUCKY!!!!).

taillights from Performance Nissan and I think the Center Garnish was from West CO Nissan.

I did NOT paint the jambs. I didn't really care to do THAT much work. They are white. Can't see any of it through the cracks, so I don't care.

I would LOVE to see it on a shirt.

You paint it at work? Can I bring my paint down there and have them paint it. We can give each other high fives or something and get some slurpees. .

it REALLY looked like olive drab in the beginning, then we somehow RAN OUT OF PAINT.

Went back to the shop to get some more.

get back to spraying.WHAT THE f***, it's LIGHTER than the old paint.

So, it was a weird thing.

Same paint mixed at same place. Same dude.Comes out different... ?

Anyways,

IF somebody wanted to put the car on a shirt, I'd like that.

Yeah, I don't understand itThe second can was better in my opinion... more close to the real color.

In the sun, the paint looks GOOOD. Seems to have good depth. I like it.

I sold the 14 to a guy named Serei from norcal.

I know that he drove a HIn demo with it when it was still blue. He made a huge graphic that said

I'M NOT BH

It might have been from that.

The paint looks really good man. I actually wanted to paint my coupe ALMOST the same color, I saw the color on an FC. It was in a video on squidd.org. Really nice color though, I love it.

the color isn't what matters... as long as its not obnoxious, (lime green, fluorescent orange, )...

its the wheel fitment that set the tone for the car.
