manufacturers don't wet sand ever. I have gotten show quality results with the cheap crap, it just took double the paint to do it.

For sure figure a way to work in the 91-92 Z28 spoiler. Not sure what euro head lights on a 3rd gen would look like but shouldn't be too bad. The tail-lights.... doesn't matter, black them out. And dude.... go red. SERIOUSLY! go red.

Gray I wouldnt do the two tone look with a dark color on the ground effects It dont look good.I would go with maybe a dark gunmetal gray with silver ground effects if you must paint the ground efects a different color. Or do a blue and use your headlight buckets and rims and interior and custom emblems and blackouts ect. to set off the color maybe with a nice black...

really just do what you like on it after all are you building the car for you or for us?
