Message	But that is just me. I think it is subtle enough not to scream "look at me" and draw attention away from the rest of the car. That's just my opinion- to each his own. If you want the metallic "Nissan" look, I would recommend sanding it first, then mask the letters, then paint the calipers. A lot of write-ups I have seen recommend sanding the raised letters after painting- my way takes more time on the front end, but I think the results are better and less risk of sanding something you don't want to. Over to you since it is your ride.
