^^Nice. I think it works better on yours due to the lack of red
camaro inserts. It doesn't go overboard like how I think mine would.

I say yes on the bowtie, but not the one you posted the pic of. That's the Pepboys one that has black in it. Go with the OEM one like the other guys and myself. Get it at the dealership.

That's more of an east coast/quebec

redneck overall haha.

I have a question, im looking to do my berger, and i was gonna use semi-gloss as well. I thought that if you clear over semi-gloss it takes away the semi-gloss effect and makes it full on gloss? am i wrong?

I used Dupli-Color sandable primer, Universal black & clear coat.

I was initially disappointed that it didn't turn out very glossy after
I did the clear coat..but in retrospect I think it turned out perfectly.
I got exactly the look I envisioned.

There are different types of clear; Flat, Semi/Satin and High Gloss.

I didnt realize there was, i was just going to paint mine Semi-gloss, but i hate the idea of leaving it unprotected. so to get that semi gloss look i would paint it semi gloss and use semi gloss clear?

KingPin you can use whatever basecoat you want. The clearcoat is what determines its sheen.
