That almost looks like it is has a different pigment to it versus being satin or flat. It still has a gloss to it that is much glossier than what people are spraying as semi gloss.

Several years ago, Mike Gale had his original paint Black/red stripe 69 Camaro RS Baldwin Motion at MCACN. I failed to get pictures of his rear panel. You could clearly see a tape line with the trunk open, and the paint looked differant. Maybe someone else got some shots of his car ?
Another thing to consider, besides what Phil pointed out about the variations in temperature at the time of this blackout, is the number of times a car was washed, even the continued cleaning with a wet towel over time may add to the gloss level.

Mike there's another black car that also has the same contrasting black applied to the tail panel( Bob's car a member on this site). It is my belief that blacked out tail panels &amp; rockers were 70-80% gloss(a different formula from black exterior paint used). As many have pointed out, there are variables that may have contributed to the degree of gloss, such as temperature and polishing over the years. I've owned and inspected many car with blacked out tail panels and rockers and that is my conclusion.
