Everything I know about painting I've learned from watching your videos, good stuff DAVE!!!

paint the tailgate handle and Nissan logo!!! then shave off the NAVARA STX lettering... then all the chrome will be gone! awesome job looks great!

Looks awesome! I just picked up an old truck with a bunch of chrome parts I wanted to paint with rocker guard. These videos helped!

Awesome videos dude very easy to watch and very informative, deffs one of the best paint channels on youtube

Your videos have actually given me confidence to paint the chrome parts on my L200. Thank you.👍🏼👍🏼

How did you go with this? Looking to do the same with our Sahara.

Thank you for your videos. You will give my 2005 Mini a new lease on life. I will use your methods to colour-code my headlight and rear light surrounds, plus my door handles. Should look great with more black-eye purple metallic adding to the overall theme 💜

It looks amazing, nice work. Thank you for making this video, I've been considering doing the same thing to my truck.

Great video, you are great at your craft, most people who have full paint setups already know how to paint.

I'm not a car enthusiast at all, but that was great. You explain everything so well, I feel I was compelled to watch even though I will never ever paint a car 😁 (in saying that, if I ever have to I now know the basics 👍 ) Thank you.

im in the usa and just got a Frontier(we dont have Navarras).I really hate the chrome\gray accents but love the truck!great video!def gave me some ideas on how to safely black mine out without taking it in.thanks!

Fantastic job. Wish I had a dust free area to paint mine. You really crushed it!

Cheers for the very informative video. I'm in the process of doing my ford ranger... Removed my door interior panel to get the handles off... Then I found out that you can remove the door handles without doing that, there is a small screw in the door you can undo and the handles come right off

Looks awesome, just need to de-badge it now to finish it off 👌🏻

Looking good Dave. I hate when they wash the car when getting it serviced. Sometimes I forget to tell them.

Looks awesome!!!! Excellent work!!!

You killed it, mad job I don't know why the manufacturers stick with chrome when black looks so much better

I agree about removing the door handles...I pulled one side off, and it was such a pain I masked and paint the other side on the car - much easier overall, just as good. But since I don’t have a different opinion from yours, does that mean I’m NOT a champion? Dang it. No Wheaties for me...that’s the breakfast of champions only.

Looks much better would appreciate some tips on the air pressures you are using I think it helps a lot for beginners like me to have some reference . Love your videos please keep them coming

Very nice. Don't know why companies love chrome so much. Looks way better

Wow you’ve made this nav look awesome

Dave, a spray mod I'd like to see is separating the headlights and painting the trim piece inside it. Keep up the good work mate.

Amazing job 👍👍👍

Good work Dave!

Tip: Just exchange those chrome parts with a lower spec model ones, mostly parts that are unpainted bare plastic, easier to prep and spray than chrome. Surely couple of the same car owners would gladly do that, probably increase their car value too

I remember back in early 2000’s people want it chrome everything mirrors,grille,bumper,rims etc etc now it’s the opposite blacked out everything we going backwards...

I remember when I was in my 20's, I hated my black car handles and black bumpers. I guess at least the black out look is shinny in some cases. I have a Dark Blue 2001 GMC Yukon , I need to get it repainted cause of Paint peel on the hood and roof, I was thinking about having the roof wrapped in a black vinyl to save money on the paint job then doing blacked out GMC Emblems on the chrome Grille and lift gate but I plan on keeping the rims and grill Chrome.. His grill came out good being painted black but I have not seen a black grill on a early GMC Yukon that looks good..

Badges,tailgate handle and as you mentioned window trim needs to be blacked out. But you make the payment if you are blacking out the chrome do it all. Thanks again for the information.

I'm thinking you should paint the Nissan logos as well. #banChrome

Looks way better than stock!

Wouldn’t matter what process you had taken. There’s always gonna be someone that will have an opinion on who you have gone about it. Well done on the videos and keep it up 👍🏻

Both methods have there plus and minuses, one thing about opening doors is you could insulate and/or deaden them if have panels off, maybe upgrade the crappy speakers, and can easily reseal if break plastic (in ford was just black butyl rubber seal that can be replaced, or carefully restuck in our case), do risk the rattles though if break a clip which may or may not be devastating, nice video appreciate all the tips Edit looks badass too good job

Hi man , just wondering how much time do u wait between coats ? (primer paint clear)

On your video about painting the chrome parts you showed what paint and clear coat to use if you don’t have access to a spray gun, any recommendations for doing the same steps for the wheels just with spray cans?

No, YOU'RE A CHAMPION!

Fuck the haters Dave, I love your channel and have done a lot of my own painting on my bike projects based on what you’ve shown me in your channel. Clearly most of these keyboard clowns have never tried any of this stuff themselves. Keep the videos coming.

looks awesome mate , maybe black out the badges as well

Cheers for this, just about to start the process of my partners np300

Paint the emblems too! 👍

Hey mate this looks great. Got one question for you. Is it ok to just paint over bumper sensors? Im blacking out my car but stuck on the bumper. Have heard a mix of opinions about painting the sensors. Cheers

I made a spinning table from the base of a spinning sunglass stand. That way, I'm stationary, I spin the wheel and the lighting is consistant.

I have a question. What bed cover do you have on there that works with the sport bar?

What’s the best wheel and grease remover do you recommend ?? Thank you

Trabalho sensacional sempre! 👍

I'm in the process of de-chroming my Navara. I did the grille and surround, the first time i didn't use a clear lacquer but have since re-painted it and finished with a clear lacquer. But I've still got a couple of stone chips which then show the chrome. Any tips? As for the door handles, I'm thinking of leaving them on too to paint.

Have you ever used a Devilbiss advance HD 1.3 H1, or heard anything good about them

Does the additional paint interfere with the sensors or door lock/unlock buttons?

DAMN SIR THAT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER, YOU KNOW YOUR SHIT FOR SURE. ME ? I'M GOING TO HAVE TO USE SPRAY CANS FOR NOW, NOT SURE WHAT TO USE ON MY ALUMINUM WHEELS. EPOXY PAINT I GUESS, FLAT BLACK OR MATTE BLACK. VERY EDUCATIONAL VIDS. YOU HAVE.

Have you ever had your primer crack? Idk what could cause this most of my job came out good but I did have that happen and parts of my clear coat has a white haze

Curious why you didn’t sand after primer. Not necessary with etching primer?

Looks heaps better. And I don't normally like black.

Does it matter if you spray over the sensors on the back bumper, I'm guessing the little round black dots are sensors? will it affect them if you do paint over them?

What brand is the bed cover and roll bar?

How did the rims hold up? Did they chip over time?

Nice work.

Should do a review on how it held up

Nice job!

So you painted all the door handles and just left the tailgate handle chrome???? And painted over your packing sensor do they even still work

Is it OK to spray over the rear motion sensors? I'm want to PlastiDip my rear bumper, should I mask the sensors?

Great Job

Really well done! Love what you did on the wheels, in fact it inspires so much that I decided to paint my 2018 Outback wheels (black like yours). Came out really good as well. How much time do I have to wait before I can put tire conditioner (tire black), also when can I polish and or wax them? Cheers!

Ghost Graphics, or a close in color set of graphics perhaps with color shift.

Great job. The truck looks so good. Should have come this way from the factory! Chrome doesn't belong on trucks imo.... Side note, I wish we had that truck in America.

Confused why an epoxy primer wasn't used for the bumper if it was metal. Also why just a clear coat and not a 2k clear coat finish

Do a video on smoked out chrome.

If I'm repainting a metal hood and I sand down to the primer do I reprime w etch primer?

I watched through both videos wanting to see how you did the window trim only to get to the end and see you not paint them :(

What’s the difference between an adhesion promoter and etch primer? I’m doing the chrome trim on the interior of my tundra, it blinds the crap out of me. Do I need to use the etch primer as well? Was going to do: sand, adhesion promoter, black trim paint.. if needed I will definitely use the etch primer.
