Default Charcoal Ceta? what should I do?

I have a white fomula and am trying to find a trans am rear bumper to put on it(anyone want to sell one?). I have charcoal ZR1 rims with the chrome ring around them. I can't decide whether to do a charcoal ceta or jet black ceta. Taking into cosideration I would fill in the "pontiac" on the rear and need to pick a color for that to tie in as well. My door handles are black. I may also want to get blackbird stripes too so I would have to match them in as well. I don't have any side emblems or any logos on the taillight filler. What you guys think? Anyone do charcoal on white?

i think any grayscale color looks good on white, it would look even better since it will tie into your car well. i say do it in charcoal.

I love the way the black cetas look on white but charcoal would be unique... I wonder if I can get the exaxt color of my rims or how I would go about finding out that color if I do decide on charcoal.

At walmart you can find some duplicolor in a charcoal metallic color. We used that on a Silver TA and it turned out really good.

Yes, paint it charcoal grey, get your blackbird stripes in charcoal grey too, and color match (white) your door handles and side mirrors.

Now everything should tie in.

side mirrors are already white so thats no prob and the door handles are black.. I kinda like them black but could turn them white... Also If I do the ceta in Charcoal I wonder if it would look good having the "pontiac" fill in on the bumper in black?

Yep, that's what I used on my Pewter Metallic 'bird. My vote is for charcoal too. The black would just contrast with your charcoal wheels too much.

Do you have any pics of yours? I was actually considering using that on my pewter TA also.

Here is a pic of the actual rim color I have to match everything to. You think it would look good as ceta color?
