Talking Berger on Red Z

I am planning on doing the berger over christmas break, as well as adding a magnaflow catback with the slash cut tips, and the bowtie grille from SLP. I plan on buying a rear panel from someone on tech then painting it semi gloss black. Can I achieve the quality of panels in these pics with a rattle can or would I be better off having it sprayed at a dealer or somthin. pics are welcome and thanks for any info. How do you think the car will look with these mods on a red z with chrome 10 spokes. Thanks again.

I painted it myself, turned out great. I picked up one locally for 30 bucks, so I still have my original too. Semi Gloss with Muffinbuster stainless inserts

This is my car. I had it professionally painted in satin black. The painter charged me $50 and I bought the panel for $50. In my opinion, it was worth it to pay the guy to paint it. It was perfect when I got it. The emblems were expensive, but I had a specific idea in mind and it I wanted it to be a little different than the others I've seen.
