Default Re: Heater Box 1970 Chevelle

Jim,
The box has a slightly textured flatter black look to them. On survivor cars I have seen it is very dull and slightly textured almost like a 'dry' spray. That is how I restore them.

With regards to the firewall side, I think they are originally even glossier than 80%. On low mileage cars, flip the cover over and you can see that they are very gloss, closer to 90-95%.
