Talk me out of painting my Nismo...or NOT?
I just talked to my neighbor, owns a ton of bodyshops and hooking me up on painting my rims black on my silver nismo..
He just finished fixed one of my employees cars, painted it flat black and it looks awesome (Its an older full size hummer)
He said he could paint my car flat black if I like for a reasonable amount. I'm seriously thinking about it. Doing the rims flat black, the car as well and leaving the carbon fiber exposed.
Any feedback from the board? My wife said I'm nuts but it is my car and she already had her cars sorted out so my turn...
What do you think, crazy?
