Default Should I Paint The Rear Panel???

I have a black SS, and I was thinking about painting my rear panel satin black like the Intimidator SS. And then put in the stainless CAMARO fill in raised letters. What yall think?

I called GMMG and talked to one of the guys who worked on that Intimidator project. He told me to just use automotive trim paint. Thats all they used

I think it would look kind of dumb if you paint it satin on a black car. It will make it look unfinished. I think it would look bad on a NBM car as well because it doesn't go well with dark colors. It needs to pop like on LSmokin1's car.

I love how Anti-Rice gets used on so many forums and websites. I've been on that forum for about 4 years now and love it. I bounce between here and there when I'm on the PC.

what yours is screaming for more is some black letter fill ins. THAT would take care of the booty instead of a big black mold.
