I was bored tonight so I decided to paint my visors black, since Nissan does not offer them.. It is relatively easy to do..
First you will need some Dupli-Color Fabric & Vinyl paint.. Auto Zone $5 and some Paint Prep cleaner.. $5.. This is used to take all Oil and stuff off the area to be painted..
You can either mask off the labels on the visors or just paint over them. The long sun blocker piece will pull out of the visor with little effort.
The Mirrors are held into place by two small pressure clips that can be pushed up by a small flat head screw driver..
After everything is disassembled, Clean it with the cleaner, (except for material) (Plastic only) and apply one or two light coats of paint.. Apply several coats till you are happy with the color and then paint all the plastic accessories..
The accessories will be easy to paint.
Once everything is painted and dried, Reassemble and install back into the car..
you'll be surprised when you get the headliner out how thin it is, you can almost see right through it. it would also be a good time to put some dynomat on the roof also.
man my DIY went wrong when advanced auto parts labeled flat black with gloss black...
my first can was gloss, 2nd can flat, 3rd can flat... results = hideous... but im too lazy to fix it up.
btw if you do this becareful when popping out the mirrors.
