Very small amounts. Most people way over do the accent colors IN MY OPINION. Paint your calipers Yellow or Orange. Red works but everyone has Red. Maybe even a cool light blue color. Go from there.

The murdered look is great on the black maros everything glossy from front to back. Also I think red sticks out nicely even though I don't care much for the color red but on black there's no denying it looks good. Maybe black bow ties outlined in red. Red halos/demon eyes maybe etc.

Removed badging from the front quarter panels

Dropped 1" w/Hotchkis springs
MMR wheels (Graphite, for some contrast....)

I think the only thing I'm going to do after this is put in some Hex Vents, but that's more for function than looks, but I do like the look....

I like the debadging idea. Are Camaro emblems only held on with adhesive?
Is this technique valid?

Yep, that will work

Yes. This. I have seen grey or carbon fiber hash marks that look good also. Check out Big Worm some good ideas there

I've done carbon fiber accents, not really a fan of stripes for my own cars. Powdercoated calipers helps a lot too

black everything out, use matte black for accenting some stripes, and also go for a phantom grille

The only problem I see with this video is that I used the fishing line before the heat gun and got more adhessive off so there was less to remove. I would have thought using the heat gun at first would save you time but it is just the opposite in this scenario. I removed my side emblem and love the look. Fishing string behind the letters with no heat gun, Hair dryer to heat the adhessive, removed with Goo gone, wiped clean with water. Took maybe an hour all together. Paint is perfect. NO issues with the paint.

A Thorough polish followed by an excellent carnauba wax!

I used dental floss, heat gun, and goo gone.

Heat for a few, floss it off carefully, and goo gone the remainder. Similar results - no scratches, and no paint issues

Floss to get off my rear bowtie then 3M adhesive remover, no issues with paint as long as you use a proper microfiber towel.
