So I was bored with my grill. I had painted it from Chrome to black previously (with the center buck-tooth left as chrome)...however I got to thinking that the black look just kinda cheaped it out a little. So I re-did the grill and here's the end result. I'll be doing the headlights to match the body-color soon and figured this is a good match.

Looks good, i guess bordom brings out some peoples creative side. Nice work.

 

Looks good, can't wait to see the headlights when you finish it.

 

Looks perfect.

 

Grill looks nice :-D

What is your other car, chevy Venture? Has it caught on fire yet?

Kamski

 

nicely done

 

Good eye yep...chevy Venture...and no...unfortunately it hasn't caught fire yet. I wish it would though.

Thanks for the good feedback . I picked up the paint from Autozone - Duplicolor # DSCC331 - Charcoal Grey Metallic. Turns out to be an EXACT match to the "Smoke" color (color code K11) of my car. Already had the primer, so the total cost of the job was some time and $6 for the paint Bought the small can, and have about half left over. So I think 1 can will probably cover both the headlights as well.

 

nice!

 

That actually looks really good on ur car

 

Now paint the lower strip on the bumper.

 

Looks pretty good.

 

Good idea. Time to buy another can of paint.

 

Nice work

 

AH! yes.... didn't think of that but yes that would go good as well... I assume that piece just snaps/screws in place? I see I'll be examining that tomorrow. Have to find more paint though...I bought the only can Autozone had

 

perfect and as for the lights it will only make it even better i did a similar mod to my 5th gen left the outer trim ring carbon colored. look forward to seeing the headlights when u do them

 

It's all one piece.

Just take your time with some newspaper and a roll of tape.

While your there, hit your license plate braket. It adds a nice touch.

 

Would love to see the headlights when your done.

 

nice likte it alot

 

here's a follow-up to go with the grill....



I do plan on doing the headlights the same when I get a chance (and more paint )

I like this look a lot better than the plain flat black nissan had there.... makes me wonder why they didn't just paint the whole thing to begin with.

:edit: geez I didn't realize how bad this camera is with outside overcast shots. Wish I had my canon 350 here

 

looks good man
