Another Berger Panel Well I was able to pick up a used berger of a 94 camaro' which is cool... I have been busy in between studying. Finals suck!
The panel will be gloss black and the Z28 is the color of the car with the grooves black. Eventually I will have stainless inserts for the Camaro part.
I think the pictures will explain the steps..
The badges came out sick. The pictures really do not due the justice.
I still need to put a final coat on the panel and then apply the clear. I hope to have it done this weekend.

Its a rattle can special. The black is supposedly a high gloss, but w/e, its just rustolem. The clear is a high gloss, by American Traditions, and the primer is by them as well.
A tip on the sanding. Wet sand the bumper with like 320 or so the first time or else all you will do is just scratch the clear coat. One of my buddies told me to wet sand it and sure enough the clear came right off. You may already know this, but I sure as hell didn't.

It seems to be doing well so far. I made sure to score it really well and get the clear off and then apply a good think coat of primer. I think I will be ok.
I made sure the primer and clear was for plastics.

Cool idea!!
