Painting Suggestions
I am getting this trunk from a fellow forum member. All I have to do is pay for the paint work. It is completely sanded and prepped and the Barolo Red is gone. My only problem is deciding on paint scheme.
1. All Iridium Silver
2. All Iridium Silver except the spoiler
3. All Iridium Silver except the spoiler and license plate area
4. Any other suggestions

That's my favorite option too.
BTW-If you are ever in the Orlando area the last Saturday of the Month, Everyone meets up at Route 46 Complex in Sanford from 9-12. The Ferraris were a little overwhelming yesterday, but usually its a nice diverse group.

So you're buying Keith's old set up? Niceeee 
Can't wait to see how it looks! If you could somehow bring back the CF under the barolo, I would opt for painting all but the outer edges as well as leaving the spoiler in CF. Basically just imagine his trunk as pictured but with the colors/CF switched in terms of where they are as pictured. (And in Iridium silver of course).

Ghost Carbon. That's something I was toying with and would be something different. Basically just a single light coat of Iridium over the CF piece so from a distance it looks like color matched, but when you get closer, you can make out the CF pattern underneath. Would looks pretty amazing on the trunk and plate section like that

^^ that would look really cool.
I think if it was mine id do a fade from color matched to CF. so where the spoiler and trunk meet would be all CF. almost a reverse of what dadsc63 did. and the plate area all cf

Great minds, Mike! I thought about that too but was afraid it would look too much like Texalium. I would probably want to do all my CF like that.
