'78 tail lamp bezels
« on: July 11, 2009, 04:54:27 PM »
Hey guys ,I have another newbie question. I searched the site for it but had no returns. What is the correct color code for the rear taillight bezels. I know in 78 they went to black, but what color? Gloss or semi-gloss? One car looks glossy, the other looks like a satin finish.  :-\

I used a satin gloss (Semi-Gloss) then a clear coated mine. I like the finished product..

This was taken the day I bought it March 18,2001. there was no console, the door panels were heavily worn, the dash was severly cracked, carpet was tathered, and head liner was just a sheet of cardboard cut to match the original, exhaust was shot, Fender flares missing, none of the gauges worked. I wasnt even sure it was a numbers matching car at that point until doing my homework...  
 sorry for the quality.
