That black epoxy looks great with the camel..............
Drake 05-03-2008, 08:32 AM I call shenanigans!!! I think he photoshopped it! hahahaha
Just rippin' bro... looks really good. The other day I was on the military base here and passed an X in that color. That makes 2 I've seen like that. I'm still hunting for the elusive "Atomic Orange" X's though. I dig those a lot.
Keep it up man... You've got a good start to the project so far.

Hmmmm... My wife will never know the truth then, when I say I've been seeing way to much of Carmella... hehehehe
cbzdel 05-03-2008, 12:26 PM how do you work with epoxy paint?? any info on the process would be appreciated!! Also how well do you expect it to hold up??

Chris you can chek my photo gallery on this and I did a write up for others including yourself that want to give it a try...
The Epoxy will out last any thing on the market! If you take your time and the trick is to use lite coats... 2 to 3 then a final medium coat. You will have a mirror glass finish on smooth parts and a very nice satin finish on all embossed trim parts...
DONT WAX for at least 60 to 90 days.. I then use a carnuba and build a few layers to keep it looking new.. then wax twice a year.
This will give any 1st gen Xterra a brand new off the sales floor look!

cbzdel 05-03-2008, 01:13 PM lol i just noticed that, for some reason I think i just clicked part 2 twice...
anthonyfdz 06-04-2008, 01:39 PM hey guys,
I'm really interested in doing this project for my X, when I click on the photos link, nothing is showing up. Also could you let me know where you bought those items on your mod list so I can try and find the cheapest prices.
Thanks,
Anthony
json3904 06-04-2008, 01:40 PM the photos wont come up since he is banned... and who's mod list are you talking about????
cbzdel 06-04-2008, 02:57 PM anthonyfdz use krylon fusion paint it has been discussed and is better..
also in regards to his mods, what mods are you looking for in the list? we can point you in the right direction...
anthonyfdz 06-04-2008, 03:06 PM Thanks. I was actually just wondering about the Trailer Hitch, those HID lights, and the grill guard, but I don't think the grill guard will look good on my car, i'm not sure.
Thanks guys.
-Anthony
json3904 06-04-2008, 03:08 PM for the hitch go to www.etrailer.com and the brush guard is all up to you but be warned that it is highly discouraged in this community since it will cause more damage than good in a wreck.....
cbzdel 06-04-2008, 03:42 PM his HIDs are fake, he paid like $10 for a set of blue "hid" bulbs off ebay.. if you do a search for HID you will find a couple links to locations where members have bought a real set, including myself.. I ordered mine though a Mazda3 group buy for just over $100, normally I would not spend that little on HIDs but I know the seller and he a a VERY honest guy and when he says its a quality product I believe him...
also check craigslist for trailer hitches, I see them on there all the time..
