I say don't do it, but if you do, definitely don't do it in gloss.

I did it on my 1999 Trans-Am that was that color and it looked great !





Mine was a flat black but I think low gloss/satin (NOT gloss black) would look best !

It won't be dark enough. I did dark charcoal on mine the first time and it was way too light! Metallic black looks great though.

I'd have to disagree with you there... You should DEFINETLY do black (gloss or satin) on your car. I love the satin black on my NBM car...
