i got my luvers, camaro grill, and head light buckets* respraied flat to contrast the rest of the car... no pics whet because i had to drive the car in two days of rain so i wased it with MR. CLEAN AUTO DRY and the **** didn't work untill i drop kicked it then it worked like a champ. so i still need to polish it be fore pics. i will post some by tomaro night.

 

hear is the gloss black paint on the car... (flat black paint pics tomaro night)

BEFOR

 

Shoulda been semi-gloss, but I wanna see how it looks. A few weeks ago I saw a black Z28 with the pockets actually painted semi like stock for a change and I liked it way better than them being gloss like the bumper and rest of the car. (besides other trim)

on your black car i really like both , i dont like the flat black grill though. but the buckets look fine either way on your black car.

LAST ONE

 

 

WTF does that mean....

 

no offence man but it looked better before

 

This is coming from a kid with a fur headliner and who went crazy with silver spray paint on his interior.

 

your point is? i did look better before, plain and simple.

 

I think I would have like the semi-gloss better. . . especially on the grille.

 

Looks good! I like the contrast of the two blacks. Now empty out the water in your passenger signal lamp and its all good.

 

I like both!

 

I like the flat.

I've had 2 camaros, and I've done that to both of them. My front bumper was replaced about a year ago, and the body shop semi-glossed the light pockets. It looks good of course, but once they start to fade, and get scratched.......rattle can flat black once again!!!!


....the flat is MUCH harder to clean, due to the texture. For show purposes anyway. You can't just wipe 'em off, you actually need to spray with water and dry it.

Just my experience.

 

My Iroc is bright blue metallic and it still has the origional paint around the headlight buckets, grill and hood louvers. Does anyone know if the origional black in these areas are semi gloss or flat? I'm going to repaint it shortly and I definately don't want any of these blue, but I really don't want them glossy either. By the way, I also like the contrast of the two different blacks.

 

I like the semi-gloss pockets on any Camaro... they give it that tough 'football player' look.

Just my $.02

 

that's f'in awesome man!
i love it, i think it gives a true muscle car look

 

thanks for the replies...

too bad my driving lights and fog lampes are fuged up, it fuges up the hole look of the car... HOW CAN I FIX IT???

oh one more thing... i am broke as a joke

 

hear is a pic of the hole car, for thoes who havent experianced it. :lala: :lala:

 

got another of the flat black louvers and buckets...

 

OK FOR AN A$$ LOAD OF PICS OF MY CAR GO TO THE CARDOMAIN SITE IN MY SIG... then go to page 4!!!

 

I definetly prefer gloss on black Camaros.

 

what i think about this topic is one or the other... if you got flat, semi-gloss buckets you need flat, semi-gloss grill, ect. if you have gloss buckets, everything needs to be gloss.

 

The more i look at it the more i cant decide. I think it looks fine and i dont think i would ever say it looks bad. The issue i have is usually when you use a matt black on a gloss car its to make something dissapear, so to make it less noticeable then the rest of the car. I love the matt on the grill but if it were my car i wouldnt have put it on the headlight pockets because it just seems like an odd place to use it.

 

I love everything except for the grill. To me it's just a little to "flat"

 

IMO the flat is way too dull and not like stock at all. But I still like the contrast.

All trim is semi-gloss except for the T-Tops. Which are gloss.

 

Its all personal preference... i liked it better gloss black. but it doesnt look bad flat black... its your car...

 

That looks awesome man! I love it!

therckid, this is a joke about the silver paint in the interior, yes? If not, then you cant possibly critisize anyone here.
