#176025 - 17/11/06 04:20 AM "white" nissan on roof rack
Anonymous
Unregistered


I go down the road all the time and see other X's. On the roof rack in the front where it says Nissan, almost every other X I see it is painted white. Is that something from the factory or is it after a certain year?? I have an 02'. Can I paint it? What type of paint should I use? Thanks.

It came white from the factory. It peels off over time. For example, my I is cut in half, but the others are still fine for now.

It's plastic, so you should be able to paint it with a good quality paint that says work on plastic.

That's a replacement, not the original parts. From the pictures I have seen and the 2000-01 I have seen on the roads, they are all white. Here are a few examples.

Early 2000's came with the white lettering. I got mine in April of 2000 and it was all black lettering. A while back, someone was selling white Nissan Stickers to put on there. I'm don't remember anymore when they started putting the white back on there, but it was at least 2002.

I just masked it off with blue tape & hit it with a few coats of silver Krylon.



The picture doesn't quite do it justice, but it looks real sharp.
