What do you guys think, i was thinking of painting it all black, including the nissan logo, and possibly having my rusted grille tech inserts painted black too (is this possible)

 

I voted on the last one.

Are you MJG the rapper?

 

Guess which one I voted for......



But the emblem is Smoked Grey Pearl, not black.

 

hah, i was wondering where this thread went, i thought it was lost!
Bluesbrekr; I love your car, that looks great. I think i might be leaning towards leaving the max logo chrome.
Rapper? Me? ha

 

Here's an older pic, before I painted the emblem (and cleared the HID's and before the grille tech inserts rusted....)

 

man that black looks so smooth and clean. i need to re-paint my front end... so riddled with rock chips.

 

Do that it looks awesome!!

 

Thanks for the props, guys. The results I got are due to the info right here on the org......and Prinz!!

....couldn't have done it without either.....


Now back to the original question in the first post...mjg - are you going to paint your grille?

 

yep, i think i'm going to that and the bumpers in the next few weeks, I'm also planning on getting a 3m clear bra so i dont get all chipped up again.

No one responsed to my question about painting the grill-tech inserts.

I'm probably going to leave the emblem chrome for now, tho i like what u did with yours alot.

 

Can't wait to see some pics, mjg. As far as the inserts, You could certainly paint them black. I painted mine silver when they rusted after 9 months and the corrosion came through the paint, so I just took them off. The black may hide the rust better, though. Couln't hurt to try it. I know I've seen pics of black inserts but I can't remember where....

 

hey bb;

man yer car is black everything! How much did u pay for yer 01 black tails?

I wanna get something like that too i think.

Where did you get em too?

 

Yeah, I wanted to darken/tint just about everything I could, but leave a little 'silver' here and there...like the HID's and the wheels. Window tint will be next.

I got the black tails from org member bestiawan. They are OEM ones and I paid less than retail.

Did ya do anything with your grille yet?

 

nah not yet, i'm going to get both my bumpers, and hood repainted, as well as get the grill, and inserts, and then install the full xpel clear bra in one shot, a bit later this summer. Sorta busy right now with moving into my new place, and 14 credits over the summer. I'm hoping sometime august I can do all of this.

 

Make sure you post pics when it's done.

14 credits in the SUMMER???
