Default Made my own camaro berger rear panel

I filled in the "camaro" letters on the rear panel and sprayed it gloss black. Went back and forth between gloss and flat but the other accents on the car are gloss along with the wheels so I went with gloss..I will post pics when it's dry and on the car...

Nice job. What process did you use with sanding/primer/paint? I've done a few of these panels over the years but always like to hear what other guys do to get theirs done. Installed pics when you can also!

I just used spray primer with filler. Sanded with 600 grit. Primed it again and wet sanded with 600,1000,2500. Sprayed it with krylon Maxx gloss black. One coat of gloss clear.

I will. It's not that bad. Just fill in the camaro letters with filler and sand it down. I hear you can take an "e" string from a guitar or a strong fishing line and pull the emblems off very easy after a couple minutes of hair dryer heat lol...can't decide if I want to put them back on or not. Kinda like the clean look..
