Default just bergered need some input
Alright just did the berger panel deal and I am about to paint a SS style spoiler. I am thinking that I should paint to match the panel and it would look pretty good. what do yall think?

no keep it gloss. I don't think you will like it satin, the panel looks good though.

its aftermarket so the fit is kinda crappy. Bought it for 80 painted NBM so I thought it would be a good project to learn some body working.

I am going to do the SS spoiler the same color as the panel. Will post up when it is done.

I don't know, personally I think the spoiler needs to be the same color as the car. The berger looks good flat, but the spoiler in flat will just look like you haven't gotten around to painting it yet.

I hate that garage as you can see the orange tint to the floor that is volcanic dust and that stains the hell outta my cloths. Plus it is military housing so I am only allowed to change a battery in there nothing else

Werd! I have to agree, I'd keep it as is....plus you'll save money because you wont have to paint it the color of the car once you see that you don't like it in satin

It is not even painted yet. I will just use the z28 spoiler if the ss turns out like crap.
