Color Selection [MERGE]
I am going to be painting my Evo IX matte black. I am trying to decide what to do with the wing. It is the wing off of an Evo VIII so it could be stripped down to full CF. I am trying to decide between these three options.
1. Paint the wing Matte Black.
2. Strip it to bare Carbon Fiber and Matte Clear it.
3. Strip it to bare Carbon Fiber and Gloss Clear it.

If you have pictures of your recommendation that would be GREAT!
Thanks, Trever

1. Paint the rims Matte Black.
2. Paint the rims Gloss Black.
3. Paint the rims Matte Dark Bronze.
4. Paint the rims Gloss Dark Bronze.

If you have pictures of your recommendation that would be GREAT!

Why not matte black and gloss carbonfiber (only changing the current paint on the sides)?


I wanted/want to do matte black on my 8 and this is how I was going to do my wing.

I voted Carbon, but I meant whatever is carbon, leave carbon. Do the non-carbon the body color.

Anywho, leave whatever is carbon, carbon, and paint the rest body color.
