need your thoughts
Friday, July 07, 2006 3:07 PM
ok, so i was really bored today and i thought i would paint my trunk bezel white to see if i like it, and if i didnt i'd paint it black.
when i painted my handles they basically match the body paint... but my trunk bezel does not. you may be able to tell from the pics, but its noticable in person.
anywho, i took 2 pics and photoshoped it black to see what it would look like.
give me your vote!!

#1 WHITE:



#2 BLACK: (photoshop)



thanks everyone!

i think it'd look good if it was white and matched ur body paint. i think the black looks kinda strange to me. maybe it'd look better black if u painted the inside of the lisence plate area black too


Tila Tequila? PPSSSSSHHH she's got nothing on me, except i'm not a porn star. and that's ok.

the whole thing would be painted black if i did (minus the reverse lights)

my whole thinking behind painting it black as a "all else fails" is thats the color it is stock...lol
getting the white to match would be a hurdle as well...

The white definitely looks better. In my opinion, a color matched trunk panel always looks so much better than a black one.

You could always get some estimates from local body shops to have it painted. Mine was only around $100 to have painted and it matches perfectly. Just my .02 though.

white. black just makes it look like a stock rear like every other sunfire out there.

tru... but i wont have any trouble matching it and it wont cost me anything to paint it black... lol

the white is wearing on me... i think im going to pick up a nother can of paint to see if it matches better... i think i used Krylong White Satin finish on my handles... whereas i used reagular white on my bezel.
