Default dark green trans am options





I have 2 cans of niteshade, and a new trans am bumper......heres the plan.


I was thinkin of doin the CETA center section satin black. I think satin looks better then flat, and gloss is not for me........

then, I was gonna shade the wing light, and the taillights, but leave that little reflective part that is bright red......


I wanted to leave that little slivver part still red. I was wondrin what that would look like.

can anyone photoshop that up?

I got a idea. what if I do a base coat on the tail lights. then mask off the reflective strip, and shoot another coat.

same with the wing light. just lightly shade the wing light, and lightly shade the reflector slivvers

You can actually just pop out the reflective strip. It's just held in with 3 clips.

I went the opposite way, I blacked out the 3rd light and also the reflectors. I love the way it looks, not too dark and not too much red.
