A timeless design, a rich new color, and carefully finished chrome details.
At our workshop on Awaji Island, Japan, we recently completed a full exterior transformation on this Nissan Rasheen. Our goal was to preserve the vehicle’s distinctive 1990s character while giving it a deeper, more refined, and more premium look.
The result is a classic Rasheen with an entirely new presence.

A Deep Burgundy Full Repaint
The body was refinished in a rich, deep burgundy that shifts beautifully with the light.
In bright conditions, the metallic finish reveals subtle red tones and a smooth, glossy surface. In lower light, the color takes on a deeper, more sophisticated character, perfectly complementing the Rasheen’s bold, boxy design.
A quality full-body repaint involves far more than simply changing the color. Careful preparation is essential to achieve a clean, durable finish. Every stage—from surface preparation to the final coat—demands close attention to detail.
The refreshed paintwork gives the vehicle a smooth, consistent appearance while preserving the original lines and character that make the Nissan Rasheen so recognizable.

Custom Chrome Details
To complement the new burgundy finish, selected exterior parts were refinished in bright chrome.
The chrome roof rails create a strong visual highlight along the top of the vehicle, while the chrome side mirrors, door handles, and bumpers add a classic, premium touch.
Rather than overpowering the design, the chrome details work in harmony with the dark body color. The contrast between the deep burgundy paint and the reflective metal surfaces gives the Rasheen a distinctive custom look from every angle.
Each chrome component catches the surrounding light differently, adding depth and character to the finished vehicle.

Classic Character with a Fresh New Look
The Nissan Rasheen is known for its simple, practical, and unmistakably retro styling. Its compact proportions and rugged design have made it a popular choice among enthusiasts who appreciate distinctive Japanese vehicles.
For this project, we wanted to respect that original identity.
The exterior has been refreshed and customized without losing the qualities that make the Rasheen special. The combination of deep burgundy paint, chrome trim, dark wheels, and the original boxy silhouette creates a look that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.
It is a vehicle that stands out without trying too hard.
