painting the berger?
painting the berger? okay guys i want to paint my berger panel. i was wondering how many people paint theirs with spray paint and and spray paint clear also. and would it look good with my tails black also or should i take the black off. need some info on the whole thing.
I did mine with krylon semi flat black. Looks perfect, but I took my time, redid it a buch of times, and was ****. A should would do fast, but mine is perfect for probably $50 in paint and parts (panel was 20 off ebay).

i would shave the "CAMARO" letters and the trunk lock, then sand off all paint, prime it and paint with satin finish. thats what i have planned and then ill see if i like the look.
As far as the tailights, I'm not big fan of blackouts.
As far as the panel, follow the write-up. I think we just wet sanded it really well then sprayed it with semi-gloss, several coats until it was even and smooth. We didnt clear it. Been almost a year and the paint is fine. Added stainless inserts, bowtie and SS. See sig pic for reference.

I also shaved the "camaro", and had originally used spray paint, but I wasn't happy with it. When I got the chance I painted it with the same paint that on the Z28 roof & mirrors, Much happier. I did prime & wet sand with 800 grit before shooting the color.
