I love the berger panel, it makes these cars in my opinion and should have been a factory option on the z's and ss's. It depends on where you're from though...my car is the only one around here that has it....thats why I did one for mine. Semi-gloss spray paint (lowe's brand) works well. I used a can and a half on mine and wetsanded it smooth after shooting it....turned out pretty nice.
