Default Paint scheme

Does anyone has any pictures of how they painted the rear end of their C3. I painted mine a very dark read with black fade on the hood scoop and black window trim, side vents and bottom skirt, but have not found a suitable way to accent the rear end. Would appreciate any pictures posted. Thanks.

Haven't gotten around to painting yet, but would like to see what you have so far. Any pictures?

There is a pic in this thread (6th post pg 1) of my 72 vert. The tail is blacked out as well with the same high gloss paint as the pin strips and lower quarter accents.

This is my photobucket link detailing the restoration project on my 1982 corvette. The paint scheme has changed a bit (just this week...imagine that!). I did not like the solid black accent on the hood and now have it faded in on all sides (like the front). Stuck on what to do with the rear. Have left it without any accent presently. Will add some blacked-out tail lights, bubble lenses, or black louvers. Have not decided yet.
