thanks for the negative feedback, but im not into the looks. my car has rediculous paint right now, its in a mix between primer, blue, black and some bondo sanded off. i just want it one color, and being 60$ in my pocket.. this was the only option. and 30$ for a homemade paintjob.. and to have your car 1 color... YOU CANT BEAT THAT!!!!!!! but yeah appreciate the nissan love.

o ok i got no prob then, but ppl who have their car 1 color and then see the flat black and do that, its just liek wtf, i totally agree w/ya if its bunch off diff colors, i did the same thing 2 yrs ago, but honestly theres a better way then spray paint, find someone with a gun, go to home depot and buy a quart of rustoleum paint and a quart of paint thinner, the mixture is 50/50 mis it up and spray away, sry for the semi flame btw
