Well, I had to make a new thread for this because I didnt think anybody would see mine on Vshorts post.

First I washed my cover with dish soap and very hot water to get rid of any oils of course. Then I just taped of what I wanted to be silve and primed it about 3 times and sanded it pretty smooth.

I sprayed it about three times with radiant silver rattle can paint and then let it bake in the sun for a while.

After I took the tpe off of it it looked pretty good so i put it on. and took a few pics of it on Vshorts thread. It looked like crap on there because I took pics with my phone.

The more I looked at it the more I wanted to do something else to it.

I got the idea this morning to pin stripe the edges where it changed colors and then clear coat everything to bring it all together.

I got some more pics with my phone again but they are a hell of alot better this time.

[quote name='BigSkiff']Nice Job!  Looks like that's what Nissan should have done with it in the first place![/quote]

I agree and I will do yours too for just a small fee of one million dollars

I'm trying to do vshortts now, but I'm having a problem keeping the lines in it because of how even the red is. Anyone have a decent photo of one unpainted?

Here's a quick version. Thanks for the blank. It's a little hard to do the blending with Canteen because it's already a dark color.



Let me know if you want to see something nicer, or in a different color.

Hey that looks good!

Is that a photochop or is it a real paint job?

Oh and your tire looks low too. is your tire pressure monitor going off? <img src='http://www.titanspot.com/Titan/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/017.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smt017' />

Yes, I used Krylon Fusion spray paint and used about 1/2 the can.



Tires do look low...might be then angle.....sensor is not going off.
