I was gonna do a gloss black hockey stripe down the side of my car but haven't made up my mind yet.
I may do it like a satin gunmetal; hmmm

^there is, the dude i bought it from said he just got a good paint job on it and so i was like sweet. Than 5 months of having it the ****** front bumper starts peeling off and of course not only is it flaking, he used a god damn different color bumper and didnt even prime it, just had a company paint over the freakin bumper and it ****** pissing me off 
so that's why i want to do this

i like this flat black idea. gives the car an entirely different look to it. gotta lil story about what got me so hooked to this look if you dont mind...
i have an LE and it got hit by some kid in a parking lot. passenger mirror got destroyed so naturally i ordered one immediately. i decided to put it on to see how it would look and to my complete surprise it looked real sharp. mind you..rims are black, vert top is black and hood scoop insert is also flat black...so i ordered a driver side mirror too and have had them on ever since...next stop is berger panel...should look nice...
i say you do it. itll look awesome. black is a great color on any fbod

Ok so ive been really thinking about repainting my car to flat black but it's a really hard decision to leave the amazing shiny onyx black paint, but also i think it would be ****** badass to have a flat black camaro all blacked out with 35th anniversary wheels blacked out. Give me some of your opinions, also is it hard to keep clean, i wouldnt think so?
appreciate it

yea lots of good feedback on this. I was also looking around and saw HidalgoZ's car and he has a black z with flat black berger, spoiler, and stripes. I was thinking it would look pretty cool if i did a manta stripe..SATIN black that extends to the hatchback and do the berger mod in SATIN black and than do what i have right now on my berger panel (the polished CAMARO letters and polished SS emblems). And than i will get 35th anniversary wheels and paint those black- but should i powder coat em' satin black as well? Does this sound like it would be tight or just stupid... O and yes if i do do this i am going to be putting down A LOT of money to make it look badass
