Satin Black in the back I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of Satin Black painted tail panels? I'm thinking about having my tail panel painted on my Z, but didn't want flat black. I've got a white 99 Z28.
Any pics out there?

Man I do like the satin look...
How hard would it be to paint that piece myself? I think the most time consuming would be taking the old white paint off, sanding etc. Especially in the letters...

Dont mind the dirty rear bumper or red paint, the car's been sitting for over a month
Thanks..

I agree some cars it doesn't look good. I like it on a white and I like it on DietCokes and Z28Venoms dark maroon base. But there are some colors that it just doesn't go with.

The primer filled in the little grooves left from the sand paper, but the grooves shouldn't be major since you're using a pretty light sandpaper..
