I was considering doing a berger panel on the back of my camaro...

Just seeing what y'all think about the berger panel. Im a big fan of the satin black!! But dont know if a gloss black would look better, due to my rally stripes.

If anyone can give me tips on how to do this, like what brand of paint to use, or anything of that nature, it would be greatly appreciated!!

satin black


Gloss black

 

I used Duplicolor acrylic black spray paint for mine. I took it off, sanded it down so its smooth, sprayed about 3-4 coats, and then that was it. I went for a flat black look so I didn't clear coat it.

 

I like the satin black. Just pulled mine off a black ss

 

So if i just threw a clear coat on it it would look glossy black? cause if thats the case, then i will just do a flat black and if i dont like it, just trow on a clear coat later.

Also, how is the paint holding up?

 

The paint holds up for a little while but will start to chip if you do flat black. The clear coat acts as a protector basically. And if you do clear coat it, wait for the black to completely dry so the clear and black don't mix. This will make it look cloudy.

 

ok cool. And would any black paint from duplicolor work. Like could i use flexible bumper coating or should it be something else?

 

if you like the flat look you can use satin clear it still protects but doesnt shine

 

hmm ill probably end up doing a glossy black to match my stripes.. lol

but you cant really see my stripes from the rear anyway....

 

I need to get stripes for my wing now that I have the ss wing. Why don't you just play with that supra in the garage instead :P

 

Do you guys think a black berger panel would look good on my green Z28?
