Did you clearcoat it?

 

it wouldnt be flat black if it was clear coated. lol

 

lol.. stupid me. But yea, without the clearcoat, it'd start to look like *** pretty quick from chipping and all that.

 

it hasnt chipped.. its just really dull now.

 

hey bb1314, what did u use to paint the emblem? i have a MB and im thinking about painting my "fairladyz" emblem and the nissan hamburger on the front and back a metallic black to match the MB. what does everybody think?

 

Hey there! I didn't use anything fancy. I just went to the auto store and picked up a can of those auto body spray. I bought a bottle of "metallic black", a bottle of sandable basecoat, a bottle of clearcoat (they're all spray), 600 and 1000 sandpaper. Then you do the obvious.. sand out the orginal chrome paint first until you start seeing the white color. Then spray a thick layer of primer. Once it's dried, sand it smoothly with 1000 sandpaper. Then you spray with the metallic black spray. I did 3 coats. Sprayed and waited a few hours for it to get dried and did it over for 3 times. Then did like 2 layers of clearcoat. It turned out great. I just did the Fairlady Z emblem and I'll post pictures soon. I learned some mistakes from painting the 350z emblem and this time I'm getting better. Some ppl do a wet sanding after the clearcoat. I still need to learn what it means... apparently it'd make it even better. Good luck bro!

 

Where did you get the pedals! Link please.

 

Oh no.... somebody is gonna copy from a noob like me?! hehehe.. just kidding... I bought them from driftfactory.com

 

Damn those Project Mu pads look crazy

 

They're actually very functional. The grips are excellent. The installation was super easy (as long as you get the large gas pedal). And I can heel-toe so much easier now that the gas and brake pedals are closer.

 

what did you use to paint it black?

 

Canned spray paint

 

ic. How much did they cost?

 

Looks good...I agree with the clean look though. Im removing every Z off mine. Inside and out!

 

Hmm... about $70 + shipping? I don't remember exactly. Look up driftfactory.com? It's not that difficult.

 

i like how mine look better..

 

I had mine professionally done... Nissan Emblem with a Carbon fiber background and the 350Z emblem to match my wheels.

 

looks like a camry

 

Thats what I was going for.....I think it looks a little different then a Camry.
