Re: correct color of a '70 B.B. Camaro tail panel?
Steve,
Mind if I take a small paint scraping ( sample ) for color testing? It's an old car! Who cares!!  Steve

It has enough scratches over the years. Looking forward to seeing you, and hoping my car answers some of your questions. I know we have been trying to get together for over four years.

Re: correct color of a '70 B.B. Camaro tail panel?
I am wondering just how much waxing and polishing contributes to the glossiness of the tailpanel?? Especially if you use a rotary buffer or a coarse polish/wax.
I am not so sure it is suppose to be a gloss color. I think it's along the same lines as the rocker panel black out. Rick H.
