Painted Halo pics wanted

Does anyone have any pics of their Halo painted black, particularly on a Torch Red C5? I was considering making mine black to modernize the appearance, but really do not want to use paint since that is a permanent change and don't want to use plasti dip, since I want it gloss black. Thought of possibly trying the 3M carbon fiber film. Any suggestions?

PD has a gloss that u can add as a final coat. And, IMHO, as u can see from Frank's very nice ride, it completes the look to also do the roof, get black rims, and tint the windows.

Wow! Nice ride! Thanks for the pics. I wasn't aware that PD makes a coating for a gloss finish. I like that approach, if I have the ability to remove it easily without damaging the original paint. I don't want to make it a permanent mod. I personally think it gives the car a more modern/updated look, especially with tinted windows. Any more pics out there?
