i was going to paint my tail panel black and was wondering what kind of paint you were using. i went to the local auto paint shop to get a satin black paint and he told me a good satin black paint was illegal in california because of the chemicals used in it. any help or pics would be appriciated
thanks

I myself just have normal clear-coated glossy black. It looks better that way IMHO. I hear it's pretty hard to clean the satin paint as well.

I just got a black panel off of a wrecked black car. What can I say, I'm lazy.

Is there a difference between using the back panel off of a black camaro and the back panel for sale that is Berger SS style?

I used Satin black roll bar paint with chrome inserts.

the panel off a black camaro is gloss black and the one on the berger is a satin black, between a semigloss and flat.

satin black is the correct color with no clear coat. My dealership painted my new panel for $50 took 2 days lookes great.

I used "Low Gloss Black" (DE1634) high temperature paint by Dupli-Color from Autozone.

A buddy of mine swapped panels. I got his black panel off of his black SS and he put on a new one with a dark custom gray paint.

I put silver urethene fill-ins on my panel to accent the "Camaro" portion of it.

Another idea we came up with was to fill in the trunk key hole. A little fiberglass work and it looks like it was never there. No need to take out the key either. It fit right on with no problems. And it look sweet with no key hole there.

How does the satin paint clean-up? I wouldn't think it would be very easy to clean not having a smooth, glass-like finish.

satin will clean the same as anything else when you wash your car, its a rougher surface so you have to scrub harder to get it clean as apposed to a smooth glossy surface...

Okay, I'm accenting my car to Blue and Black (NBM with black hood, wheels, tint, etc) Would getting a black camaro panel or a Berger SS panel look better?

I hope DVST8OR doesn't mind, but I wanted to see what a shaved key hole would look like as well, so I chopped his pic since it's got a better view of the key hole.

looks much cleaner with the key hole filled
