Default Silver on Rear of T/A?

Was thinking of painting the lower rear on a black trans am silver. Have seen it black on the Collectors Edition and Blackbirds. But was thinking about doing it to mine. Yes? No?

I say go with a charcoal color rather than silver, that would look much better imo.

I agree, a charcoal metallic color would look great... nice and subtle.

IMO I think If you are set on painting that panel, ditch the gloss black and shoot it with a satin. The black blackbirds have it this way and it looks subtle but very clean. I am considering doing it myself so if i have it done i will post pics.
