I have seen a few white Vettes with this type of paint scheme and I think they look good. Be interested in seeing your finished look.

I like this look better. Just a tad different. Notice the way he painted the rear. No black on the outer part. Keeps the lines cleaner.

JMO, but it looks like a replacement rear fascia was added that needs to be painted.

My thoughts exactly ^^^

Looks like it's primed and ready for paint.

Honestly you should have just had it wrapped. The spray lines are horrible from the rattle can, some areas paint build is higher and they appear darker in your pics.......

I would go with the black on the rear only. Not sure about the flat black versus the gloss black. Tough call on that one.

for having the ***** to do that to your car. I know the color is "off" in the photo, but if the plasti-dip was darker, it would look much better. How difficult is it to remove? I could see me doing that to the wheels for a temporary change.
