tell me what you think?

Other than the Alberta license plate I really like it! : It's very different and stands out nicely. Only thing I'd say is I'd prefer the "Nissan" lettering in the logo to stand out more, maybe a silver/chrome colour or something like that. I think that'd look pretty sweet. But yeah, awesome job!

i dont like the other badges.. not bc they are bad, but i like a cleaner look.. but i do like the black nissan.. what made you go for a matte? its a nice contrast, but i think i would have done something to the NISSAN lettering in the emblem.. it appears to be almost "filled" in

It would be cool if the NISSAN lettering remained chrome, but that would take some crazy masking skills!

hahahahaha alberta is where its at. i was thinking of finding a paint pen that will match the color of my car and just filling in the NISSAN, but no luck yet.

Thanks for all the comments, i appreciate it!

I dunno why, but i just love the look of matte. It just sucks cause the paint chips really easy on the badges

I wonder if someone can photoshop the Nissan lettering on the logo to a white/silver/chrome colour. I tried briefly in ms paint but failed miserably I think it'd stand out and look really really nice.

make the lettering chrome or red might b kool to idk i just like it all taken off no badges nice n clean to each his own though

Yeah a BC plate and the car would look perfect

I wonder if you could spray some kind of clearcoat on the badges after you paint them - might help with the chipping.. Maybe even dip the badges in a sealant (lots of layers)...

Great Idea! I like it, and the idea about leaving the nissan middle chrome. I might try the idea myself, if you don't mind

You mean something like this...

Enamel with a model paint brush. But a paint pen should work.

Wow that looks awesome Misfit! I think fiftytseng's logo would look awesome if he painted the lettering chrome/silver in the same way. Really stands out and looks sharp!

yea brian that front emblem looks bad a$$!!!!

Post by **ESP** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 7:44 pm

Lookin' good mate! I agree with the masses though that the "Nissan" part of the emblem needs a bit 'o pizazz!

...and we've really gotta do something about that scrape on your bumper!!!

i asked a local bodyshop and they said the paint part is no problem, but the plastic they can fix but it'll be a different texture. I asked if it would be the same color and he said yes, so I don't knwo what to do

And as of what to do about the NISSAN, i think i have an idea, and will work on it this weekend:)
