Nismo front bumper question

forza370z · 02-23-2014, 08:39 PM

Quick question for you guys... The oem nismo front bumper center part, is it painted to black or unpainted with the original black bumper material? I bought mine used and the original owner had some damages on the front bumper and sides. He re-painted the whole front bumper PW included the center part. It's time to replace it with a new one. So I want to know if it is painted or unpainted.

If you mean the radiator opening. Mine is painted the same as the body. Gun Metallic.

No. This is the part I was referring to.

I think it just has a layer of clear coat on it but it's non painted

Okay my bad to confuse you. I just "stole" your car from your album and it's this part...

And mine is pearl white not black.

If just the middle part with the little vertical bars then mine is black.

Dafuq?
Why is yours body color on the inside?

Elan · 02-24-2014, 03:20 AM

It should be black.

Lol. Because the previous owner sprayed the front bumper inside out.

Do you guys know the color code if it's painted to black? I highly doubt the center opening part is painted tho. Because if I buy a new bumper from Nissan it comes unpainted as black. So I might just paint the rest of the bumper PW and leave the center part as it is.

a quick tape and plastidip should fix that

mine looks like its just not painted, and cleared like mentioned above.

all white looks horrible.

I just bought a new bumper directly from Nissan and the whole thing was off gray, so the section in question would have to be painted. I could see where a reconditioned front bumper would be black, normally they do have a primer on them.

I'm sorry. I had a senior moment, brain fart.

Got black lips with a black tongue. Gun metallic background. I think. I'm not really sure of anything anymore.
