New paint job 4 the Z
Hey guys need some opintions on painting my car. the car is originaly silver but needs a whole new front clip. I am thinking out keeping the car silver with the blacked out headlight buckets, black miriors, and a black rear panel between the hatch n rear bumper. My problem is the top. i dont know if i should repaint it black or silver. Any ideas?? I want the car crispy and clean. In the next year i will be buying a set of American Racing torque thrust 2's 17" all around 9.5" in front 11" in rear. Soo if you understand the look im going for lend me some ideas please.
thanks

yeah that was the side i was more on rather the silver but it was just thinkinout loud. I will get tint soo but i gotta get thecar together again.
My plan is ...................................... This weekend patch up my floor pans and order my LT's. then il be lapping my valves getting a top end gasket seal set and putting the heads back on. during the next 2 months il be powder coating my intake, valve covers, alternator, water pump, pump brackets and a few other little things. im doing it in candy blu and red, with a chrme undercoat to make it shinny =]. Then some minor body work and paint. After that a new exhaust and the cars done =]]

my car was silver before I painted it DSG.. and even though I love the DSG I miss the silver.
anyways my Camaro has the mirrors and the top black and when the car was silverI had the black panel and I got compliments on it all the time..it looked reallygood.I think leave the fog light panel black, it will look really nice that way.

Either get a polished grill or get it painted the color of the body. I have never liked the black grills on any 4th gen because of that open mouth effect. But that's just me. Mine is the color of the car and would never go back to black. Now the Berger type rear panel is a good idea. I 've had 2, the flat black and the semi gloss black. A night and day difference from gloss and flat. I LOVE the gloss 100% better. The flat looks just to unfinished. But all this is just an opinion do what you think is best
