Default Paint Rear Panel Gunmetal to Match Rims?????

I was thinking of painting my rear valance to resemble the GMMG cars, but I want to paint them the same color as my rims, metallic gunmetal and I wanted to get everyone's opinion. Here's a pic of my rims.....

Yea I was thinking about going with a gunmetal scheme around the car (powdercoating SFC's, LCA's, stuff like that) and just wanted to get another opinion, I am going to powdercoat my Stull grille gunmetal also. I may end up painting the rear panel flat black.......

Doesn't look too bad to me, but I think that a Berger tail panel would look better. Or maybe a gloss black one.

It's not like the black one I've seen, with the silver panel. That was a bit much in my opinion. I think your idea would look awesome, since the variation is not that extreme.

That would look pretty neat in my opinion. If you're going to paint it anyway, what do you have to lose by trying it gunmetal first? If you don't like it, you can just shoot it another color! By the way, I dig your wheels!

yea I think it looks different with the gunmetal panel. I'm going for the old school look with a new school styling to it. I like the idea of painting it gloss black as opposed to flat black, but the gunmetal panel does look good though. BTW, thanks for the props on the wheels!

Do it in gunmetal. The NBM and gunmetal metallic look great together, and it'll tie in nicely with the wheels.

I think the gunmetal will look sick on your car. So it gets another vote from me.
