Default 4th gen camaro paint ideas opinions welcome

Okay so im toying with the idea of painting her flat or hot rod black with either a red hockey stripe kit or red rally stripe kit (i dont want to get them painted on because it would be more of a bitch than its worth) with a sunoco hood and rs ground effects kit, yay or nay?

i haven't seen a 4th gen look good in flat black in person. I've seen a few corvettes that look real good and my friend did it to his harley. Seems like you need a car with a lot of curves to make the flat look good.

simple black with those stripes should be just as cheap

well i picked the car up for 2500 and im really more of a motor/mechanics kinda guy, so i would plan on spending like 2-3k and make it look at least decent, and im dong ground effects out of necessity more than appearance, it was wrecked and the panels under the doors took a bit of a beating on the underside

I would say to fix them then. However, it is your car.

I would say no on the flat if you were adding an accent color. It seems to defeat the purpose of matte colors in my mind.

If you did satin black, would you do the stripes in satin red or gloss red?
