Default New rear panel
I know everyone does flat black but I am not real crazy about it. So I did mine in gloss black single stage ureathane. It matched my sail panel and mirrors. I finally got to use my emblems that I bought a year ago. This is a junk yard panel off a v6 car. I still have the original.

Nice! Flat black would of looked like **** imo, if the sail panel was flat black then it would look good. I usually do flat black for the exhaust fascia's on vette's and t/a's.

I've seen it, it's kinda ugly. The guy had a red manta with solid red stripe on hatch, red hockey stripes, and red tail panel. All on a black car.

Looks great!


Gloss black does look 10x better than flat.
