My 69 Z/28 had very dark grey floors with lighter grey toward the back. Of course, there was a some black overspray on some of it (car is black). A friend gave me a formula for the floor, told me it was a 90/10 mix of a sealer from Sherwin Williams (can't remember the name, but have it written down at home) and black laquer. When I mixed it up, it was not dark enough, so I decided the 90/10 mixture should be 90 percent black laquer. It was much closer.

Hey Rick thats nice for the Chevelle guys, but us Camaro guys hardly ever got the same treatment... I have only seen a few un-restored camaros with black undercoating, the majority have been gray with the body color overspray around the edges...

Paul I was just curious, my cars are 12A of 68, 02B, and two 02D cars... The first two dates are the 396 cars... Both of my 396 cars are un-restored and they both have gray floor pans, and no signs of black... Maybe they started sometime between March and April??? I don't know, just guessing... Mark

My Z is an 08A car and as I stated above, the floors were gray. Not much overspray, and the only undercoat was in the wheel wells and the inside of each quarter panel. My car had no paint work done on it until I started in 1997. I have owned it since 1976. My brother owned it for a year before that. I know most everyone paints the floors some degree of flattened black, but question whether that is factory correct.
