Default ceta black?

alright so I'm about to get my front bumper resprayed and some blackbird stripes painted on the hood of the atomic orange ws6 also have black and polished 18" c6 z06's coming with strano's and konis. what I was thinking about today was how easy it would be to paint the sail panel and the mirrors or just the mirrors black while the stripes were being laid. $ isnt really an issue since I have a friend of the family with a shop doing the work.
opinions? pics of a any shade of an orage t/a with this done already?

I'm confused, your title asked about ceta black, which generally is the rear bumper portion I thought?

Yes I would do the sail panel in black, but if you haven't replaced it, I'd look at taking down the paint on it and having it vinyl wrapped instead. Mirrors may be a bit much.

I would post up a pic of it and have someone do a little photoshop of it.

YES the vinyl wrapping is a great idea. Most paint shops do that stuff now. It's cheap and if you don't like it you can just take it off. And as for the mirrors.... I don't like it, but that's just my opinion. I just think it's a little much. Especially with that purdy atomic orange paint you go there. The stripes and the bumper will be enough and I would bet it will make an awesome car look even better.
