Wiper paint

[edited] Plans for my Micra. Advice?

This is the old "wiper paint" thread. Instead of making a new one, I edited the old one.

I did a simple edit of my car in photoshop. I don't have money for any major changes like buying a bodykit but I think these ones will make it look pretty cool.

Modifications:
-Removing the middle part of the grill
-Getting rid of the wipers by the headlights
-Removing the Nissan logo on the front
-Spraying parts of the car in the original color instead of black (plastic details)
-Windows are tinted already :upside:

ps. I'd like to lower the car but I have no idea what ones to buy. I don't know what fits my car.
I would also like another spoiler but it feels impossible to get a hold of parts.

What I was wondering is if you guys could help me out with advice on how to do these "mods". They're simple and I've got a basic idea but I'm a total newbie when it comes to actually doing something.

What kind of paint is suitable for the plastic stuff? The same kind you use for the car? I went to the store where they mix paint for you and got a can of my car's color. I was fixing the little rust it had. BUT! The stupid paint was slightly lighter than my car's! I don't know what to do. Sure, they said it's almost impossible to get the exact same color but you can tell where I painted. : (

What's the best way to remove the Nissan logo and get it to look like nothing has been there from the start?

I probably missed out on something but you get the idea.
Also, I'm from Sweden so that might make it more difficult for me to buy parts?

Yep i used Matt black on mine. Careful when putting the wiper blades back on as you can scrape the paint off

Some people just take things a bit too far :laugh:
 
Wow, I gotta agree on that! lol!

The wipers can ruin a good photo but I'm good at photo editing so I guess I can fix it in photoshop. Heh.
