here is a place that sells the panel in flat black, little expensive but if you really want one and dont want to prep and paint this is your best bet.

sponser?

 

no but needs to be, they are ecklerscamaro.com and they sell alot of replacement parts and stuff like that.

 

Is it really flat black or just the color of the primer/plastic?

 

it says its preped and primed, so its the primer black.

 

you can buy them from the dealership for 144 bucks...

 

Yeah, it's not worth it if you can go to the dealer and pay less....

 

Nope the panel is not primer black it comes in the color you see the gray plastic. When WCA (WorldWide Camaro now Ecklers/WCA) did the tech article for the rear panel on my car several years back they tossed around the idea of selling complete painted rear tail panels but opted not to because of shipping problems with painted parts.

got my panel from Ebay.. 55$.. 3 cans of flat black spray paint... 21$, sand paper ...12$... hours worked on it .. 5

Berger panel for less than 90$

 

well its just a suggestion, didnt think the dealer sold it for less but either way there are two alternatives if you cant find one on here or ebay.

 

E-Bay 40 bucks and two cans of paint. nuff said

 

I paid 60..including shipping...but you get the idea

i fell ripped..... i paid about $250 when it was all done

 

all 93-02 camaros had the same pannel, the easiest and cheapest thing would be to go to your local junkyard and pick a black one up for $60 (what they wanted for one here) and just put it on there

 

i paid 120 shipped + 90$ to have it filled and shaved and painted gloss black...

 

I got a damaged panel for free, fixed it and painted it for less than 25 bucks....

 

I paid $25 off ebay

Yet somehow the panel keeps coming out shitty It looks smooth in some spots and rough in others (almost scuffed up). I'm using very light coats and evenly coating it. I just don't understand what the hell is going on and it's really pissing me off. I even wetsanded it again with 1000 grit to get it smooth and sprayed it satin again... still the same crap. I don't get what's goin on... why can't it just come out right??

 

Had mine done by a body shop and it was only $50.
