Primered the 240

Post by **SloS13** » Mon Apr 12, 2004 5:12 am

I primered my car black. It was a few different colors. Still needs a sanding to even everything out. I also shaved my antenna and trunk key hole and filled in the front bumper (had a recessed area for fitting of the nissan emblem) It'll look tons better after it gets a nice sand with ~800 grit. Now i need to clean my wheels up. They're trashed!

Im thinking of just keeping it primered (AKA 'Alabama paint job') or if I get money later, doing a nice dark grayish silver

i have seen this in some japanese site. flat black with clear coat on it. i htink its nice. just try and make the flat black a bit more even. but then again if youre drifting then you'll just want to keep it flat black with no clear coat. gotta touch up paint

Well damn. There goes my idea for my color. Can't have 2 flat black coupes here on NICO now can we.

Looks good man.

Here is a pic of one in Japan. This is the pic that got me thinking about doing this, then of course SCC Project Silvia

Nice. I jsut made the mistake of wet-sanding my primer with 600 grit.. now it looks like ***. Im either gonna use some flat-black paint or just pick a random color

Man, that primered coupe with the gunmetal / polished-lip wheels looks delicious... :drooling

Try the flat black, just make sure it is as even as possible.

if the primered one you posted is yours, then yesh. Clean, simple, and overall nicetastic. It says 'Look at me' and 'what the f*** are you looking at?' at the same time.

Sport Compact covered how they rattle caned the car. There is a certain method so that you car does not look like it was rattle caned, just flat black.
