The car is going in the shop for a week thinking of painting the rear license plate area flat black to match my black theme on my aero blue SRT6. Going to paint my rear diffusers flat black to match everything. Wanted to add some contrast to the back.

Not sure about tinting the back tails being im in cali.

What do u guys think?

 

I think that will probably look pretty cool.

 

I think it will look amazing softball.

I am going to do the plate area in flat black as well as the inset where the grille is in the front bumper, I think it will look mean

 

Boiler, I thought I saw a member with his license plate area painted black? Do u know who I am talking about?

Also u painted ur tails right? If so how did u do the process? My painter said he wasnt confident that the paint sticks.

 

It was a member with a red car that had black and CF accents on the roof and following down the back centerline, but not sure the name.

For all my lenses, we removed from the car, wet sanded 5-7 times and used a clear coat with a touch of tint in it. We kept spraying until we got the desired effect, I think to 'match' my gray it was something like 5-6 coats. They have an AMAZING finish, like glass and just as reflective as the body paint. You can also do actual vinyl tint on them, like I had on my last black coupe. It is nice since its a lot less labor intensive (keep lenses in car, a good tinter can do pretty quick) and not permanent (can pull off the vinyl anytime with no adverse effects for resale value).

I say do it, but then again, I usually do

 

Username tburris, I recall his car at CAA.

 

Lambo doors - so outta style, even lambo doesn't do them anymore!

 

maybe so but I like his car alot, check out his gallery, his car is top notch

 

I was thinking another alternative way is vinyl maybe? What do u guys think?

 

Vinyl is a good, non-permanent idea. Works well on cars. I know a few people who use vinyl to do "custom paint"

 

If you want to see how it looks, take a photo and photoshop it or do the old woody school approach and print the photos and color with a magic marker to get a personal feel of your own car.

Just saying....Enjoy. Woody
