TurboE Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Just bought my pathfinder a few weeks ago and these are some small paint changes and front grill modifications. Going to paint all of the chrome to match the body color. Also opened up the grill and will be adding a screen in place still need to finish but figured I'd post some pictures. If anyone knows so nice seat covers they used let me know, I need a good driver side seat bottom as the one I bought is ripped up leather. Also would like to get clear bumper parking lights.

devonianwalk Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Nice color match. Did you find the factory color code in a spray can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboE Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Thanks, I can't wait to finish it, but I've been really busy at work and on my free time hoping in a week or so. Yeah I'm painting the chrome grill and bumper to match. I cut the opening with a metal blade hand saw to not break anything but it cut really easy. Then made some wire epoxied mounts for the new grill mesh to be installed with (didn't finish that). It might be hard to tell but some of it is prepped in the picture on the right near the headlight there is no reflection. Going to do some bondo on the inside to close the gaps from cutting uprights, not neccessary but figured it would look better. Then paint. Thanks no color match, just some Krylon, primer, black gloss, and clear! I always thought spray paint was a joke for a car but then learned when I painted my Jeep you can make spray paint look really good and also make it last if the prep work is done right. If it was a daily driver I'd probably have a body shop paint it. Figure when I get a chance to wax the rest of the truck with Ultra Finish it will look awesome. http://www.ultrafinishproducts.com/ This stuff is the best also but I only use this on my car since it's expensive http://www.zainostore.com/ Edited April 4, 2013 by TurboE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboE Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thats cool thanks I'll have to check it out. Have you tried any of the products I posted on, pretty awesome stuff. Ultra Finish I've seen first hand at the carlise car show and my dad has used since the 80's it works on just about any surface. It was originally made for the Aero industry. Zaino was recommended by a friend that has used probably every wax/polish known to man on his show cars, so I went with what the best he was using! I figure if it's waxed good enough the mud snow and salt should come off easy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoesandsocks Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Actually i was trained by two people how to detail a car when i was an intern in body shops and they actually both used Zaino it is a really popular product no complaints whatsoever the second shop got sponsored by chemical guys and that's when we started using them and there products have continued to evolve and that's why i love there products they improve as a company so to speak.
