Color changing (again)
Hi guys,
My originally black C7 went for a complet color change last year, was fully painted in OEM Arctic white.
But after less than one year, i have started to miss it in black so much, so i've decided to paint it in black again, not in the OEM black, but in Ferrari Daytona Metallic Nero ( basically a black with alot of gold and red metallic)
here some pics, hope you enjoy.
Finally the Sun showed up, some pictures with visible flakes:
Small Update*
ZR1 style fron fascia back on.

Looks good man, why not just do a wrap on her. per say at 2500.00 for a wrap come out a lot cheaper. I had my 6 seriers BMW wrapped, and love it for now but can just pull it off when ever I want. But to each his on here car does look good man, but I do hate seeing the white on the BMW under the hood. Robert

said so, my corvette has been wrapped 3 times (always in satin colors) but when it comes to gloss, paint all day ; )

Wrapping (imo) gets decent results only if you use matte or satin vinyls, the gloss wraps are terrible in my opinion, not slightly close to the effect of a good polished paint job.

Looks great. Hoping for some additional pics out in the sun where the red and gold metallic flakes can pop out a little more.

Always interesting reading about the unusual things folks do to their vettes.
Kudos for taking the road less traveled.
