I Did Some Painting Today
Hey Everyone, I did some painting today in my driveway and was wanting some opinions. First I painted my side markers black, then I painted in the Nismo stamp on the center of my muffler. Tell me what you think.

What kind of paint did you use to paint the muffler ? & didn't you have to sand the chrome down for the paint to stay?

I used a High tempreture engine paint for the muffler. And no, I did not have to sand the muffler. I just took my sweet time laying under my car with a paintbrush and a little paint.

The Nismo logo on the plate & the exhaust don't match. Still looks nice, nice work.

Very nice on the muffler, Honestly i think all nismo mufflers should come like that, a very nice Touch.
Good Job. As for the side markers, Looks good as well.
