I forgot to mention that this was a $20 project. Basically no risk...can peel it off if it fails.

Cheers

On the contrary the stock silver looked better, now his door handle doesn't match AND it made those ugly excuse of what Nissan calls brake calipers stand out even more.

I don't think it looks that bad. I actually like it.

Did you use Matte Black or Anthracite Grey? Any glossifier?

Looks nice. The wheels should last a long time unless you curb em or spill a solvent on them. I I'd paint the calipers black or upgrade them and color match your door handles.

I used the matte black. I also experimented with the matte + glossifier on an extra wheel but the glossifier shows imperfections more. Went with the matte and love the results.
