    that would be... interesting. there are guys that have painted the front and rear fascias and it looks pretty good. i don't really like the camaros that all had black mirrors, so i'd have to disagree with that. is the spoiler the stock one? i'm not sure what you mean by clear

    sand the crap out of them with some fine grit sandpaper. use flat black for the lower. and some high gloss for the mirrors and wing..or flat black the wing..that might look cool.

    plenty of coats of black and let it dry in between coats.
