Paint Z06 screens black?
I have a '01 QS Z and one thing I noticed about the car is that it looks a little "silver washed" when I first got it. I got some black/machined lip Z06 rims and that added a little difference. the hood accent stripes broke up a bit of large hood. Now I'm thinking of getting the rest of the screen inserts, taking all the screens and having them painted black.
Anyone seen/done/photoshopped this?

About the hood stripes, everyone has their preference about whether stripes should be anywhere on a Vette... However, I think the right stripe on a hood, one being subtle, would be right for me. Because I have a Maggie, Mike's CE stripes sold here on the forum won't work with the raised hood... and, of course, they are anything but subtle.. I'd be interested in seeing your stripes as I continue to search for just the right idea...

I did mine on my black Z06 & I think it looks great. Used gloss black rustoleum & masked around the screens & just dabbed it on with a small brush Just have to touch it up once in awhile.

I think it would look good. I have a QS car with black CE stripes, black CCW wheels and black turn signal covers. I think the black screens would look good. You would probably have to remove them to paint them right. Which is no easy task with a Vararam. The other side which I think needs some balck is the rear end, maybe paint around the exhaust tips.

I was contemplating on doing this past weekend. I am also interested to see it in photoshop version first.
