Looks good bro! +1 for follow CB owner!

 

thanks man, always good to here feedback from another CB driver

 

I wouldn't paint the back emblems on your car since the color of your car is somewhat of a dark color, so leaving it the way it is will stand out a lot more. Have you thought about debadging and just leaving the infiniti emblem. I am thinking of doing that.

 

I'd leave the front emblem shiny, good contrast. As for the back, debadging is a way better idea.... CB coupe's look'in good!

Looks great! Matte OEM is one of my favorites.

 

yeah for sure i see where your at with the front emblem which is why i'm stickin with it but i've already attempted debadging and realized the previous owner had repainted the trunk so there was two layers of paint which isn't gonna cut it

 

yeah debadging was already my first idea but my car actually isn't dark at all compared to the athens blue its alot lighter and brighter, in person its alot more light than it might seem

 

Damn those original owners. LOL. That sucks, because a debadge with your color would look hot. You think you are going to just leave it the way it is, or have the trunk re-painted to debadge it.

 

I also painted my own about 2 weeks ago



Process I did was exactly following the DIY on here. 400 grit sandpaper, then I did 3 coats of a gray primer, 5 or 6 coats of flat black, then 3 or 4 coats of clear (to give it a sort of flat, sort of gloss, almost satin-y look). I let each layer dry for 5-10 minutes. it came out great! My first time doing any real work with spray paint, I'm still a noob. it gives the front end a whole different look. I used Duplicolor paints for all of it.

 

I have the same color G, and you just help me make up my mind in doing that for the grill lol. If I mess up! It will give me a reason to get an aftermarket grill lol.

 

Oh man, it makes the front end look much more sexy. Unfortunately, my front bumper is pitted and paint it peeling, I need a new one. But even with stock, with the black thing on the bumper, it looks better. Can't wait til I buy my Nismo front =)

 

Looks pretty good man, it really took that many coats though?

 

It didn't, but I wanted to go for a certain effect with it that you can only really notice if you're super up close. Most people do 3 primer, 3 flat, and 3 clears though.

 

Painte mines a week ago... did 3 coats of primer then 5 coats of flat black... got my front lip painted & installed couple days ago...

 

Very smooth G big man! You planning on adding some rims on that nice ride?
