beautiful civic. But imo si blue doesn't need to be on a maxima.
It would need to be ridiculous fast.
Rather go with a nissan blue keep it oem style.

+1 on leaving Honda colors to Honda's...

However - you know that MOST Nissan paints are tri-coat paints - base/pearl/clear - which will as run you about the same price for the paints themselves...

However - I've seen an Arctic White - no pearl - and it's a brighter white.

I agree on OEM colors...BN6 looks pretty good when its fresh too

Just make sure you dont rice your way with a paint job. Unless you're painting the engine bay and doorjambs you should keep the car as original color.

exactly what i been thinking all night. i was going through the nissan dealership and looking at their color swatches. and saw some pearl white and regular arctic white. and it is bright without the pearl. and the blue from nissan doesn't seem appealing. but then again. OEM FTW

If you do this, I'd suggest a nice smooth coat of primer over the whole car (to smooth the color all around) - then at least a couple of coats of the clear.

Yeah. Definitely get the bumper cover, hood, and lip with the same primer as the rest of the car.

I dunno guys, I am kind of digging the Electron Blue, but white has always been my favorite color on a car.

...That black like Snypa is just bad ***, I've always been a sucker for a midnight blue though. But black is king except for the dust it shows..

that looks so f***in retarded. the grill is okay but once you go back from there is where it all goes wrong. all the newer cars (not only maximas) have sharp lines and look ugly. the 4th gen maxi is the only good looking one. hell the new ones dont even look like one!!

the stuff is called peel and seal at lowes. The price is 14.97 BEST alternative to dynamat that ive found. and it is 6" wide by 25' long. and it was more than enough to cover my trunk.

That's exactly what I've been looking for. Can you post a how-to and some closer pics of it off the car and with the hood up?

I'd probably use a thicker mesh and spray it black. Our frontal engine view isn't all that great to look at. At leat mine, LoL!
