Default 05 vs. 06 Black Paint

Is it the same? I'm going to buy a 06 bumper for my 05 Super Black, is it the same paint or Diff? Thanks.

I believe the 06 is magnetic black which is a metallic paint not just a regular gloss. If thats the case it will not match.
edit: someone beat me to it

Nissan paint is so sh1tty. Full of rockchips and such. I had to get it repainted. Atleast you have superblack, it's very easy to paint match with no blending needed.

but that's me paying for the labor of getting it taken off and putting back on. I would of brought the bumper in if i had a truck or somethign to save money. It would be cheaper if you just brought in the bare bumper to get painted.

i see, ya the Nissan paint does suck. i got rock chips all over. I might have to get my Bumper + a little bit of the hood painted. Hopefully it comes out to about $400ish.

I wish my front bumper was that clean. Mine looks like a warzone with bomb craters everywhere. It really sucks.

Time to get a new bumper.
