Here it is! It turned out better than expected!! Matched perfect to my Nissan BW9. Cleared it with 500F clear coat. So, it shouldnt chip, and the shine on this thing!!! Jeez!

Thanks tookrzy4u192 for the paint!

the front is easy to pull off. i did both of mine when i was doing my VC gasket replacement. i used wrinkle black paint. all you need to do is scuff the VC, clean it w/ a good degreaser, coat of primer then the paint selection of your choice

I removed the infiniti logo, and the v6 3000 is hand painted silver. Then everything cleared.
