Default Flat black bead on gloss black C5 Z06's
I gave my chrome bead Z06's a flat black paint job today, I always thought the chrome bead was a little much with the chrome rivets.

What do you guys think.

Looks good, but that black doesnt look anything close to flat. Semi looks about right.

Thanks guys,

It's satin black, so not completely flat.

I agree with you. I wish there would have been more options 8 years ago when I bought these. Not going to spend $$$ on wheels any time soon so I'm happy with the way this turned out.

Yes at the time you could only get the factory Z06's in chrome or grey paint. Black option had the rivets
