Back from paint work... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

... and I made a bad call on the rear 'CORVETTE' lettering.

It was rough around the edges Red outline, Black inset, and I said put the White to it too.

It's not affixed to the panel yet (adhesive on curing paint = bad), so I can buy a differently colored new one, or possibly do it myself here...

2-tone? Solid?

And the front ID plate was done solid White too. Would inset paint, like some of yours' plenum paint, look better up front???

More pics here shortly...

Just my opinion but I think if you are going to go with a stock "raised" lettering piece it would look cool solid red with the color scheme you have going there. If you weren't this far along I'd suggest grafting in the inset letters like on the 96 C4's and then either leaving it white with the stripe or painting it red along with the front inset letters. Just my .02
