Did mine last night! Turned out really really well!!! Nice DIY!! I did a gloss finish with 3 coats of red and 2 coats of clear. It matches my car perfectly and people think it's pretty sweet! Sorry for the image, took it on my phone...

Its got some sticky stuff on the back of it. I popped it off w a pin. Back stayed sticky and I just stuck it back on after painting.

Hmmm intetesting write up i like how the red one turned out might do it this weekend

nmjaxx9 · 09-30-2011, 01:22 PM

Just did mine, blacked out the Z emblem.

Had to use super glue to glue back on the emblem though cuz the emblem would't stick on the painted surface with the adhesive it came with, all in all took about 5 mins and 3 hours drying time.

^ nice job, looks great! Wish my fob had the Z on it instead of the Nissan logo.

nmjaxx9 · 09-30-2011, 02:58 PM

thanks man! yeah i was a little confused when i intially saw the write up and the op including everyone else had a nissan logo, i guess for 2011 they changed it? or you just get it by chance? Idk either way im happy with the result. +1 to op

So I figured I'd get fancy and wrap my FOB in real 2x2 twill Carbon Fiber

lol, not a 15 minute paint job more like a few days...lots of sanding etc but I think its turning out pretty good...not completely done yet

Ok, so this is just a test fit, I still need to really polish it and maybe another wet sand but I think it turned out pretty nice
