Default ? for anyone that has painted their own tail panel..

I've done a couple searches.. I love the way this mod looks, but the only thread that I've found that really tells you how to do it.. Said to purchase a second panel.

I don't want to purchase a second.. I'd just like to mod my original one..

On a scale of 1-10: How hard is this to do for a do-it-yourselfer..

Sand
Primer
Paint
Clearcoat...

Is this all that's involved.. Using regular spray cans or high tech equipment.

Thanks

If your doing it in the flat black color its fairly easy. I did mine in a gloss jet black so had it done at a body shop.

I just smoothed the Camaro on the back and painted it with a basecoat/clearcoat system.

Not really.. I've finally gotten around to doing some appearance mods, and I really like the way the black panel on the rear looks..

Not even sure what a Berger Camaro is..

Berger edition Camaro. You can see pics of it on www.gmmginc.net. One of the mods was that black tail panel, kinda started the trend I think.

Hey DEEZ, the car is looking great as usual. I really like the way the tail panel and the spoiler turned out

when i first painted mine, i just sanded the paint off (shoulda just used a chemical stripper), spray bomb primered it, then had a buddy spray some satin black
spent about $40-50 in paint supplies and $40 on the spare panel, and had enough paint left over to spray 50 more of these panels



Quick Reply: ? for anyone that has painted their own tail panel..
