Black Butt
Does any ony have any pictures of a silver car with the whole rear facia painted black? My son had a a lawn mower acident that involved my cars back end.
Nothing like john deere green stripes across the back of a silver vette.

I've seen at least one here on the forum but can't remember who owned the car. Hopefully someone has a pic for you.

I don't have any other rear end pics besides the one in my avatar. I'll snap one tomorrow if no one posts up before then as it's already dark outside.

Thanks.
Remember, as my painter say's..it's all with the clear coat! My guy put on 7 coats (each coat baked ). This way when they compounded the car I would be left with 4/5 coats of clear
