Awsome looking car. About the ws6 badge. YOu can remove it if you want, it would look reall clean, but what if you painted the badge black, where ever it is red. I think that would look good.

I personally would have went for a satin black, but it still looks great.
Looks like you did an awesome job.

That is an interesting idea, maybe ill try that. I can always just return to stock if I didnt dig it in black.

Looks really good. I have thought about doing this for a while. I thought about going dark grey but I like the flat black since it gives the same effect. I also like the reverse light being nightshaded.

I think you should keep rocking the WS6 badge, I don't think it looks too busy. Plus, there are a boatload of T/A owners who slap it one there. You've got the real deal...
What he said! The WS.6 badge is not flashy imo, it just makes a statement that many understand.

Looks good. Not to jack the thread but has anyone done the berger panel in a flat black on a black camaro or know of some pics? After seeing the ceta on a black TA and how good it looks the berger might not look to bad.

^ I believe this Camaro has a flat black Berger https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/688521-some-nice-pictures-z.html

Like THE CHOP SHOP said, my reverse lights are shaded with VHT spray. The finish didnt come out too well though, ive been meaning to redo it.

Does anyone happen to have a shot of the rear of a black Black Bird? I think ive read on here that their CETA is finished in a color similar to flat black.

Look here at the intimidator SS it has a satin or flat berger panel.

I would have never thought to repaint an already black car like that, but it looks good. I wouldnt paint the WS6 emblem. I usually sell red WS6 emblems for $75 on eBay!!! You ought to get the black carbon fiber CETA WS6 emblem instead. Im not a huge fan of carbon fiber but they look really good!

Wow, that looks really good! I like the "ultra flat" look, even satin paints have a bit of gloss to them - I'd like to do the same to my NBM 'Hawk sometime soon.
The one thing the writeup doesn't mention is how many rattle cans of paint to buy - I'd hate to start, then run out of paint and have to drive back to the store with a half-finished bumper. How many did you go through with the primer & paint?

I did 3 coats of primer which turned out to be about 1/4 can of primer and 6 or 7 coats of flat black and have about a half can left.
