      the wheels are really more a flat black. too flat for me and appears to allow it to stain them too due to the pourous nature of non-glossy paints. so i need to strip them anyways. will be going a 70-80% gloss (easiest to maintain) on the wheels. i have an idea for the paint job, abit off the wall, lol. satin black starting at the front spoiler, then traveling all the way over the top of the car and down the back. windows will be tinted, and all window trim will be satin black and glass flushed out.tailights and rear bumper satin also. sides to be either candy green or the new camaro green. then a satin black and silver graphic down the sides about 2-3" thick. only chrome on the outside will be just a camaro emblem on each front fender.
      one thing i can't stand though is the transition from gloss to satin and having the paint edge. i am toying with the idea of doing the candy green and seeing what a satin clear over it would look like. then the whole car would be satin. cool idea, but i just don't want to do it and then the car appearing unfinished. all engine bay and underneath will be satin either way. so if i didn't like it, it would just take hitting the car with a few coats of gloss clear and problem solved.
      it is only whats in my head right now. gonna wait till exterior is finished and just see the attitude of the car and the direction it is trying to go then make the final descision.
