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.

My survivor 69 lemans blue L34 has the tail panel painted identical to hotrodpauls's car. Also I inspected an original paint burnished brown x22 car and the rockers and tail pan were painted black. They did not alway follow the rules/documentation in production. Also I had original paint 67 tahoe turquois L78 and the tail pan was black.

I don't not if anyone brought this up but why does the trim tag start 12467? I would've thought that a 396 car's trim tag would start with 12437 regardless whether or not the rest of the tag is x's.
