Default Pewter Camaro w/gloss black berger panel

Okay here it is. painted in gloss black with stainless inserts. I was really happy with the way it turned out. Paint looks perfect and inserts really set it off. Gives the car a little more attitude! LOL!!
I'll get some better shots this weekend if its nice outside.

it sure does. i was getting a little bored with the rear of the car. I have always wanted to keep a clean look so I think it adds just a little touch.

thanks, I need to re-apply my emblems now. Where are people getting 3m double sided adhesive for emblems? I'm assuming any auto zone or something would carry this??

Looks great man, love gloss black bergers on light colored cars like yours. Plus it adds a nice accent to your manta stripe

And try to get the thinnest emblem tape you can, some are very thick and may make them stick out too far

i chose the gloss simply because i like everything to match. the top of the car and my hood are both gloss so I made the back gloss also. I don't like flat, i think it has an unfinished look. Even though the originals were in flat I don't like it. Satin is nice and would be my second choice. Just a matter of opinion.

The manta was actually painted on. Same guy who painted my berger. Does really great work IMO and better than a decal because it will never come off. Like you, I get compliments on mine all the time. BTW I want my camaro painted SOM. Cars look great in that color!!

I'm undecided on doing a berger on my pewter car, but if I do, it will definitely be gloss black.

Looks great. The only thing that I would add would be the red bowtie and SS emblem like stock.
