Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
The heater core cover may or may not have been off but I can tell you from experience that because the firewall was "blacked out" before the cover was installed the finishes were totally different.
The firewall ended up a random sprayed almost flat black or dry sprayed black that was just to cover up the chalk markings and overspray. Being dry sprayed or flat the paint held the grime and grease more than the heater box cover.
The heater box cover was the GM reconditioning black color..60 deg gloss. Which was painted by dipping so the finish was extremely smooth. So with minor and I stress minor cleaning of the engine compartment there could be a large difference in the finishes on these two parts.
