Maxima goes in for a new paint

Well after being hit 2x in 2 different windstorms. 1 hitting the front of my car and scratching the entire front while at the house. And the other when it was at the dealer a piece of siding flew off and scratched the spoiler and bumper.
So I won't have it back until weds. They gave me a rental which is a
Mitsu Galant 4cyl. pos. actually from 0-60 its not too bad. but uphills or over 60mph forget it. I'll post the pics when I get it back. If you want to see some pics of the damage to the front.

I was not happy to discover after driving through the snow on friday my maxima emblem I had on my grill tech fell off. So now I'm sure if I want to try another of get a different grill. My major compliant about the grill tech seeing right through it. After I get the max back I will install my piaa super plasmas. I hope by then it will warm up a lil and melt all the snow we have here.
Peace

Painted exactly as stock.

NO stripes, logos, decals, nothing.

No purple chameleon crap either.

Stock Grey Lustre.

Are you repainting the whole car or just the damaged sections?

Just the damaged sections. Although its basically the entire front and the whole spoiler and bumper.

glad to hear no strange colors (like the polka dotted civic in my area.... odd). hope the new paint is more chip proof than the standard Nissan job

That sucks man, but think about once you get it back, its gonna be damn sexy

If that happened to me I would either get the same stock color or a glossy red or blue.

Its only costing me $489 though. And yes I think all of my stones chips will have been repainted.
And now I have the stone deflector to put on it immediately.
