I have the black Manta on my NBM car... it's not noticable unless direct sunlight hits it at the right angle, would this be considered "Ghost"

Ive often wondered how this would look. If anyone has a picture of this please post it up. I think a gunmetal manta on a black car would look good.

NBM SS with black manta


Can you see the manta?



I'm probably switching to a silver stripe when I do my senior project on her (mechanical Engineering) something that stands out more as currently no one has noticed the stripe on their own and I've had in on for a year and a half. Just something with a little more eye catching power.

to match the blue/black/silver theme I painted the SS SLP grill NBM with black inserts and silver pinstriping... took me a while to do, but I like it's subtleness.

I have thought about this too, maybe going a shade or two darker than Light Pewter Metallic for the manta.

You're car looks pretty wicked, The Black Pearl. I like it. The manta looks good, very low key but looks good when you notice it.
