Default Black berer, glossy or flat black---Silver camaro

Hey guys, just wondering what I should do. I want to do the berger mod, but can't decide what I want to do. Should I paint it glossy black, or should I go ahead and paint it flat black. Kind of lost. Here is what my car looks like now vs a photoshop through paint I did




Thanks for looking guys, apreciated greatly

Chris

I like flat black better, myself. That's what I would do.

Everyone and their brother is doing flat. Go glossy because it's different and goes better with the more modern 4th gen f-body and its sleekness.

I went with glossy on mine to color match the rest of the black on my car......I have always thought Flat Black looks like you just got a panel from a junk yard that never got finished....Clear coat looks alot cleaner...JMO

If you get a flat black, that is base clear, you can have the best of both worlds, you can get the paint on the new dodge super bees, or the flare and fender GM paint. Go to paint shop, not pepboys and you'll get what you looking for.

"Satin Black" on my 01 Z/28 did the mod way back in 2001. Almost 5 years to the day still looks like it did the day we put it on.
