How to do bergel panel mod? Ok guys, i was wondering if anyone on here did the bergel mod themselves I was wondering if i could just leave it on the car, wet sand it down, mask everything off, and just shoot it with a can of flat black? You think tht would work, or do uneed to be more precise?
Done a couple myself. First of all search it's on here, but for the lazy ones....
1: Get an old panel, LT1 or LS1 will do they are the same.
2: Strip all old paint from your new berger panel by wet sanding, creating a smooth surface on the entire panel. !important step!
3: Now that your smooth as a baby's ***, give it a coat or two of primer.
Let set and dry.
4: Spray painting flat black is pretty easy, just be smooth in your "strokes" Give it a few coats until your happy with it, let dry...and enjoy!
I don't think I'm forgetting anything...
EDIT: take it off the car, it will look like **** otherwise.

i found mine on ebay that came off a black Z for $20. didnt even need to paint it. it should be a satin black to be right but i figured the hell with it. top it off with some of muffinbusters(ebay) stainless lettering and youll be set. you can click on my fquick to see it.
