This is my boyfriends car, he did satin at first and it was to shiny to tell the diff. then he did flat black and wow it made a huge difference, it gives it a nice subtle change especially in the light

I would say dont do it. To me, it would look like you were too lazy to paint the panel gloss black like the rest of the car, if that makes sense... I think the berger looks good on lighter color cars not including black, blue, and green.

to me, it looks like there is a screw up in the paint when I see it on a black car (no offense landon). Just makes me think someone had an accident and took the cheap way out and used a sharpy on their tail panel. I love a pewter/silver berger panel on the back of a black car though! If i had a black Camaro, itd have a pewter tail panel. doesnt matter if the tail panel isnt black, its not a berger car anyway. Only time I like a berger panel though is if its on something other than black or blue.
