Alright guys, so I ordered a can of the Clear Plasti-Dip from dipyourcar.com, and used it on the front and rear Nissan emblems in order to give them a brushed look to be closer inline with the 370z emblem, wheels, and handles. I think they turned out pretty good. Pardon for the crappy phone pics. I can take better ones if requested.
Rear ![]() Rear with comparison to 370z emblem ![]() Front ![]() They don't quite have the same "sheen" as the rest of the metal, but I think its better than the chrome. I'm thinking about putting a coat of plasti dip glossifier to see if I can perfect the desired effect. In the meantime I'm going to try this on the stock chrome exhaust tips when I have time. Also, a couple notes if you try this yourself: This appears to be slightly different from the black plasti dip, in that if you apply to much at a time little white bubbles will appear and it will dry like that. Looks like crap. Be sure to do very light coats. I used the videos from dipyourcar.com, and did the light first coat, four times, and I think they turned out great. I discovered this way after attempting and failing twice on the front and once on the rear. The third and second times were a charm.
