Repainted Chrome "Mustache" (Pics)

[Xenoseal]

I'm waiting for a nice fascia with foglight slots to appear, but until then I wanted to touch up the stock grill some. Also considering painting the front emblem.

Pulled the entire bumper off (Couldn't get to them without it) sanded em down and repainted.

nice... cost?

[Xenoseal]

nice... cost?

$20? Whatever the paint cost at autozone. Those things are a damn pain in the *** to get off of the grill though.

[LongBeachCoupe]

NICE!

[Mr. Music]

The car looks so much better without the chrome...

[mcheddadi]

Take a pic farther away from the car to better see the whole car

btw great work!

[D-Roll]

I like it, good work!

[quick_shift]

nice job

[Xenoseal]

As requested, here's a picture a bit further back from the car.

Nice!

I'll probably get it done whenever I get my Front Bumper re-painted. I'm starting to get Stone Chips, most from Winter.

[loufoooo]

I wanted to do this too. What kind of sandpaper did you use?

[AZhitman]

VERY cool!

Nissan, take notes!

[LongBeachCoupe]

I thought Bat said a while back that he was coming out with a vinyl overlay for the moustache? I've been waiting for that...

that would save me alot of time and effort... especially when the weather is just starting to warm up here, i dont think paint is the best time

[Xenoseal]

Quick photoshop from a friend. What do you guys think about painting the front logo? The back is debadged.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

I'd leave the emblem alone IMO.

[spike228]

Not quite a color match but its nice contrast.

No to the emblem painting, but do what you like.

[07alti]

paint the badge too!

[Xenoseal]

Eh, yeah the logo in that pic doesn't have a perfect color match but that's just a photoshop, not the paint. The paint would be the same as the 'mustache'.

I like it better, I would remove the whole thing but it's even worse then.

[quick_shift]

I think Bat does have the overlays, shoot him an e-mail

[niztec]

i love the painted portion the mustache, but then again i think you said it was hard taking off those things. makes me wanna do that to my ride now. btw, i think painting the whole nissan emblem would be better....

[NissNEZ08]

I definitely like the painted mustache look a lot better as well. Think that may have to happen soon on my ride also. I am up in the air on the badge painting though. I like it, but then, Im not sure either. AAAGH! Decisions.

You guys are killing me with all these awesome ideas. WOOT WOOT!

You put everything in your photobucket account in another folder so all the link weren't working...

fixed the OP links

[Xenoseal]

Er, thanks for fixing my links. Since this is now a thread on the front page I'll actually have to go back and fix it myself too :-P

[j4y]

Wow, nice job removing the chrome. It looks really good. After seeing that, I'd really like to do that on my white coupe as well.
