A buddy's car with gloss black, Chrome fill-ins and GTO 5.7

And mine.

It is dirty as hell in this picture, but for a good reason.

I'm still on the fence on whether or not just a straight gloss with no keyhole or letter would look better, but for now, this looks good enough. I'll probably paint it a glossier black than this to get rid of the greying effect.

I did the flat black and covered the key hole. But I don't have any pics.

Well now as some of you know, I bought an 02 pewter Z, so the black tail panel won't be on the red Z. On the new one, should I still do gloss to match my black ZR1s and sail panel, or should I go with the flat black berger style? (not much of a fan of the flat black though)

Gloss black looks like you had to grab a part from a black car from a junk yard. paint it satin or don't paint it.

Thanks, I enjoy getting compliments on stuff nobody else notices! And, for the fun of it, I photochopped it a little bit just to make a few ideas.




This one is really nasty looking, but if it were done in RL it would look better.
