I'm partial to a black tail panel but your car looks pretty nice the way it is.

I'd never do a poll to decide how to paint my car.
I'm
the one that has to be happy with the way it looks.

If it were a Barracuda then I would say leave it or paint it argent, since it is a 'Cuda then I say go factory, organisol black on the tailpanel says 'Cuda to anyone who knows the cars. That said I am with chally416, paint it the way YOU want it.

I am not really too sure how I want the tailpanel painted. Kinda iffy on how it looks now. Different I guess. Was thinking of doing it all black, but figured it never hurts to ask.

O/T what did you have to do to paint your bumpers? did you have them stripped?
I like the way they look.

The other thing you have to consider is whether you want to spend the extra coin on a full set of chrome trim to do the 'Cuda rear properly
they do look good done, and not finished of right if only painted and not fitted with the chrome, in my opinion anyway

Good eye Kenny, I didn't notice that. That would look kinda odd if it was missing because it hides the parting line of the paint.

didn't strip the bumpers. Sanded them down with 120 grit and sealed them with an epoxy primer. Wet sanded down smooth and painted. This is the only pic I could find without the chrome on the tailpanel.

The car looks great! However, to paraphrase that great philosher, Mick Jagger, "I see green tail panel and I want to paint it Black..."
