Default Berger Panel on a Teal car....

Anyone have pics of this? My buddy has a Teal LT1 and we are wondering what the Berger panel would look like on his car. If you have pics, please post.

Never seen a teal car with one, I think it would look okay, he would just paint it flat black right?

Yeah, here where we live though...I have not seen one Camaro with the Berger tail panel. So it would be "unique" here.

Even black? I've never seen a painted panel on a black car, I always wondered what it would look like. and what color would you paint it? Silver?

I plan on painting the bottom side of my rear bumper satin black on my black WS6, kinda like the Carl Black Birds were done. I think theirs were done in a gray-silver, but I don't really like that. Stands out too much.

u know i like the idea and i think it decent looking however the more dominant part of my brain keeps telling me that the berger panels are just people who got the car repaired and didnt finish painting it.

Hey i own a 97 mistic teal z28 as my first car and i am thinking about painting the rear panel black. How hard is it to do this by yourself and how much would it cost to get it professionally painted with clear coat. By the way it looks pretty good on that blue camaro but definitely get some C A M A R O inserts

it is real easy, all you gotta do is take out the taillights and tape off the line right on the inside of the trunk. alot of people take the panel out and paint the entire thing, thats too much work and it looks just as good when you leave the panel. imo satin black is the way to go instead of flat, doesn't look as cheap and its very forgiving (hard to mess up)
