Finished up my Grill...no Paul Wall here!

[MisfitBrian]

Low Gloss black then hand filled the Nissan logo w/ red. I'll get a better pic later. Let me know what you think. And once again, my mad photoshop skillz show in my custom license plate.

Looks pretty cool...need frontal shots lol. I was thkning of doing somethign similar but didnt know what to do with the chrome burger this gives me ideas. Did you rattle bomb it or use a gun?

I had some leftover low gloss engine paint(rattle can) I used on my last car. Definitely scuff up the chrome or it won't stick very well. I have more pics on my camera that I'll load up when I get home. I also forgot to take pics of the Stillen hood dampeners I installed yesterday.

Actually, my SLR took such humongous pics, Photobucket was having a hard time uploading them.

Niec job! The black goes nicely with the Azure, and the red bit makes it even better.

[SniperJoe]

Nice job!

Like the skulls on the license plate frame & on your wall

I think you should paint the mustache the color of the car and not black. I did mine black bu have a black car it looks amazing!!IMO

[D-Roll]

Looks good so far, more pics!!!

That would require taking it to a paint shop & I'm way too cheap for that. My dealership doesn't even have touch up paint for my car yet.

[dldjros69]

i ordered touch up paint for my car from the stealership, they said it takes about a week.

[Sacky2.5]

very nice I like!!!

[altimacruiser]

How did you paint it exactly I want to paint mine but I am not sure how to go about it. Is there any way to remove plastic part and the mustaches or did you do it while it was on the car.

[Goon]

Actually, I love that the mustache was painter black. It adds more depth, without the attention of the Chrome color that it was.

Cheers!

Expect to redo it in a few months, especially if you wash it weekly.

The rattle can stuff is very very soft compared to the factory clear coat. Wears out super fast, fading out and swirling all over.

Trust me, i've done experiments.

[mcheddadi]

what you waiting for?! MOOOOORRREEE PICSS!!!!!

[Scott21384]

Ya i totally feel you on that. I got lucky with a black car!! i like so much more than the chrome that was on there!!

to the other wuestion about painting it on the car, the grill and mustache come off pretty easliy, they have plastic clips holding them on. the mustache is tight and took some prying but slides right off.

[MisfitBrian]

Ok, so I masked off the surrounding areas(Blue painter's tape & newspaper), 4 coats of black & 4 coats of clear coat. I don't like taking off pieces since they tend to break or loosen up. I'll try to take more pics later. Very long day at work & too tired to do much tonight.

Softer than our factory paint?

And the answer for what I wanted to do with my grille...........has been answered. Props to you for taking the risk.

[LongBeachCoupe]

I must say... i think it looks friggin fantastic! Im not sure how the flat black would look with my car... maybe id have to gloss it... but the painted nissan with red is insane...

[Voodoo Coupe]

hahaha man thats exactly what i posted i was going to do to my grill on the grill development thread! Im glad I catually get to see it done on a car. I think it looks sick. did you sand down the chrome first? Id worry about paint flaking off. other then that i really dig it down to the black emblem with the red nissan. great job man

I used the low gloss w/ clear coat & it has a nice low sheen. Sand down the chrome a little for adhesion & you'll be fine. I may put a few more coats on this weekend. Thanks everybody!
