I am painting the rear-vent area of my C5 black. If you have already done this, please post a pic! If you could comment on what paint you used that would be great too. (e.g.. flat, gloss, etc.)

Thanks,

ALLKAR: I really like the way the rear contrasts with the wheels!

There is someone here with a sig pic of a slammed red C5 with the painted rear. I think it's a 427 turbo car???

REBEL03, this may be the thread that pushes me over the line. I have a good buddy that can shoot it at his house and he's an excellent painter to top it off. I was already thinking about pulling the rear fascia off.

TIKTGTR's ride is wicked. I may have to lower mine more too.

My C5 is at the paint shop right now getting taped to do this. I did the Caravaggio kit and the Halltech Carbon Fiber hood. I saw a pic here of a red C5 parked in a driveway with a blacked-out rear and I just think it rocks! The pic's above are also great!
