Default Best Paint for my C6
I just purchase a Twin Turbo Lingenfelter Hood for my 2006 C6 and I need a recommendation for the paint. My car is Black and I want to know base on your experience which brand matches the factory color. Should I buy direct from GM?

Thanks!

How about black and see if it matches? If not you'll need to have it matched.

No idea. I'd look for a good paint shop and let them decide. I have specific areas of expertise, but painting cars isn't one of them.
