Will do. I have no doubt that it will look fantastic gloss black on a black car. On other colors, it may pop out a bit too much.

We'll see I guess.

Yes. It has had the logos ground off with a grinder, then smoothed out with 180 and 220 paper, then epoxy and utrethane primed. Urethane smoothed out with 320, then 400 and shot in PPG base/clear.
