heres what i did in my freetime today... to my 95 it was finally warm enough to paint the door panels and almost get the interior done although the door handles are still tan and were waiting on chrome i-30 ones also the insert on the door will be being chaged to blue fabric type stuff but thats not done yet...heres a lil preview

and then sense i was in the painting mood i taped off the letters on my plug cover and painted it gloss black on my 99 ...

thanks for looking any feedback is welcome

i just used some random gloss black sprey i got from advance auto. LOL i masked the letters off with masking tape and then cut out each letter with an exacto knife it took a total of about 25min because i only taped off the nissan part and a big mask over the center "v6 3000" part sense it was black anyway. both jobs turned out alot better then i thought. Everything will be cleaned up sanded and "polished" up as soon as i install the MEVI in there and make it look even cleaner with the black mevi cover and polished mani

im not the one that drives it Heather is so it will be her job to keep it clean. it was a fun experiment though i didnt think it was gonna turn out because the white was runnning cause it was too cold but i just kept going and after coat #3 it looked good to my suprise. btw jon Heather got to pick out her own colors no dissin i think it turned out good

Sweet, my friend did the same thing with his 240SX. He found the matching color to his car and painted all the vents, handles, and sh*t on his interior. Cost him like $5. Complete sexiness.

Nice job...I love those colors. I painted my interior door pieces too a little while ago. They don't look too bad.

you taped off those letters? hahahaha. all you do is spray the entire valve cover with spray paint then wipe the letters off with a rag with paint thinner/remover before it dries. takes like 30 seconds

btw, did you guys use primer on the interior pieces?

yes primer was used on the inerior pieces and the wipe clean method with paint thinner is not cool because theres a huge change for mistake. i dont think anyone would suggest doing it that way
