Ceta and Stuff
as some of you may have seen... i picked up a LT1 T/A to swap my LS into. Its apparently some sort of custom color, i thought it was SOM, but who knows. i was always a fan of the CETA mod on the T/As, so now its my turn to do one. but what color? does anyone got any pics of anything besides black on a SOM car? perhaps a gunmetal? also what black do you think would look good? i was thinking either Gloss or Satin... i think complelte flat wouldnt look to good...

Some type of semi gloss.
Here you go, please excuse the crude cut lines:
If you want to try grey or something I saved a .psd so it's easy to change up.

I believe semi will have a little more reflection than satin but not as much as gloss. I don't know any percentages but that's how it was explained to me.
Rogue status. Like rly?

Then I'd make the black as close to the tail lights as possible. I am somewhat disappoint.

Well what is the theme for the car going to be? Rim color? Any other little touches you plan on doing to the exterior?
Once you know those details, makes recommending a shade and color easy for the CETA.

So many options for Red/SOM TAs. I have a plethora of quality pictures with different themes & rims saved on my harddrive.
From Fox to Camaro to Bird. Come a long way there

Satin or gloss black will look the nicest in my opinion, but any black is better than the way they came from the factory!
