All 1969 Camaros were painted with Du Pont products. The specific product used was Lucite, an acrylic lacquer. In the Du Pont 1969 General Motors paint chart - exterior colors, striping colors - there is only ONE code for black: 99L. Even Cadillac used it.

There is a notation:

NOTE: Unpolished Lucite will generally produce a gloss comparable to original interior semi-gloss finishes. If lower gloss is required use up to ½ oz. Du Pont 4528S Flattening Compound to a pint of unreduced color.

99L is also listed as a semi-gloss interior color. 4428L is listed as a flat interior color, probably used on the top of the dash mixed with a suede additive.

That means no matter where you find black paint on the body of a 1969 Camaro, it is the same stuff. The rocker panels and SS 396 rear body panel weren't polished.
