wow dude, looks spectacular! much better than the typical one color scheme that everyone does. i was going to paint mine blue this summer but after seeing yours, i'm def going to do something a little more custom.

I love it, came out wonderfully.

Did you just tape off around the Nissan logo ???

...Which reminds me, I need to repaint my engine cover as well it came out crappy

Post by **ja105ny** » Mon May 18, 2009 6:36 pm

im jealous

I just saw this in your sig in another post and jaw dropped! This is awesome!

I just thought of a use for the letters I pulled off the back of my car...that would be pretty sweet to use them for a stencil to put ALTIMA on the engine like you did...so it would be a matched font.

hhhhmmmmmm

In anycase

Post by **ja105ny** » Sat May 23, 2009 9:42 am

that emblem is not on the grill actually. its only on the cover. havent done the one on the grill yet. the key to the neatness is the masking. it took me forever to get it right...

Post by **mynority** » Wed May 27, 2009 5:57 am

wow didnt even notice i typed that, it was late lol. the emblem comes off just like a normal debadge right?

Post by **headhunt3r** » Wed May 27, 2009 6:57 am
