He didn't know that big block SS cars in certain colors wouldn't have a black tailpanel. Dusk Blue is one of them.

Wish him luck.

I believe you are wrong. ALL big block SS cars got black rear tail panels, regardless of color. The only exception was the pace car replicas. The black body sill treatment was not included with dusk blue, fathom green, burnished brown, and Burgundy... but these colors still got black tail panels if they were SS396 cars. -JB

There was also a paint color exception for the SS-396 tailpan black-out, but as far as we can tell, it was limited to black vehicles; in other words, only black (and special models like Z11 and Z10) SS-396 cars did not receive the (semi-gloss) blacked-out tailpans.

Definitely fiction. I'm very far from being an expert but looks like he's got his friends e-mailing him some "questions" to post. Nice car but without any docs nothing can be 100%.

We are working on a Burnished Brown X66 that was original paint before restoration. It had the gloss black tail panel and NO rocker blackout...BKH

I feel a gloss vs. semi gloss tail panel discussion coming on again...." I love the smell of napalm in the morning"

Here are some pics of my original paint 20K mile 69 L-78 Camaro SS. The paint looks to be semi gloss.

I say it's satin finish.

If you paint the tailpanel semi-gloss and wax the crap out of it for say....36 years what do you get? Gloss, right?
