    Sorry to say this sir, but you cant say "paint is paint as long as you know how to shoot it". You cant tell me that the rattle can paint you bought is comparable to some PPG Flat black paint.

    I like the idea. My only qualm with the C5 Corvette is that the rear end seems a bit large ( definitely toned down in the C6) and optically one needs to break it up. Many C5 owners( like you did) change the exhaust tips (with matching chrome Corvette plate in the center) to add some brightwork. By adding the flat black just over that area will optically shrink the size of the rear.

    definitely looks nice. however i think you shouldve gotten automotive spray paint instead of home paint at lowes, like duplicolor. if it holds up i guess ya did something right. either way, looks good.

    A lot of people have been using a product called Plasti-Dip on thier cars. I believe it is removable. Look up some info on it.

    @ Driwash: Definite improvement, Tom!!!

    Painting "plastic sheet with sticky on the back side": American ingenuity at work.

    Black gel-coat on my C6's back-up lenses for a similar effect:

    Nice! I've been telling my buddy to do this with his Z06 since he bought it last year.
