Default Thought on a painted tail panel

I believe most people would call it the "berger" panel, but for historic references and whatnot I'm going to call it what it really is: a painted tail panel, since it didn't come from Berger themselves. Now, my thought is, to do a painted tail panel on a NBM camaro the same color of the stripes on the pic below. Thoughts?

hard to say no with that as an example picture. Itd need wheels that were the same shade, and idk if thats metallic but i dont think you could pull of a matte or even satin finish, being that itd look like it was primered. Metallic would kind of be necessary.

if it were mine i would paint it semi gloss black and yeah it would be harder to tell it on a NBM car but it would also make people pay more attention to the details more rather than having that silver color on the back screaming:"hey look at me" but thats just my 2 cents though
