See the rocker in this picture? It's black at the centerline of the aluminum trim. I can do better for you tomorrow if needbe. And I like your signature! (I'm taking a nap)

 

Nice gams! lol

 

It's the area that houses the Rear Tail Lights...ONLY.

 

The tail panel gets blacked out, on all 69 b/b. If you care about details, get Fred to post a pic of the corner of the trunk, where the black terminates at about a 45* angle. His pic will give you important locater points for taping off.

There has been an ongoing debate regarding the gloss of the paint. Everything from full gloss like the paint, to low gloss. If it's been settled, I don't know the results. Again, maybe Fred can help.

Ouch! How could that happen? Never seen such sloppy work.

Does anyone have pics of the blacked out sill for the BB SS cars.

The blacked out sill is a RS thing, all of em from 6 cyl to BB. The tail panel is blacked out on just the BB SS cars. Fred's car is both.

Black-out Paint Applications
Certain first-generation Camaro models had semi-gloss black-out paint applied to the body to influence the appearance. There were two types, a "ground-effect" black-out applied to the rocker-panel/body-sill area for certain exterior trim options, and a blacked-out tailpan applied to SS-396 cars.

Body sill black-out paint was applied to Z22 (RS) cars in 1967 and 1968, and to Z21 (style trim), Z22 (RS), and COPO 9560/9561 cars in 1969. But there were several body colors that were simply just too dark for this paint scheme to be effective, and for these colors (more below) the body sill black-out paint was omitted. Additionally, the body sill black-out was omitted for special models like the 1969 Z11 Indy Pace Car convertible trim package and the 1969 Z10 coupe trim package. A Chevrolet Product Bulletin dated 2-4-69 describes the Z11 (Pace Car trim package) package and includes this instruction: "Body sill to be painted white instead of black." Although no instructions have been found for the Z10 coupe, it would be natural for this same philosophy to have been followed.

There was also a paint color exception for the SS-396 tailpan black-out, but 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.

The 1967 and 1969 body sill paint codes that did not receive black-out paint (supported by GM documentation - except see note on 1969 #10 Tuxedo Black) are:

1967 and 1969 Body Sill Color Exceptions

1967 1969
---- ----
AA Tuxedo Black 10 Tuxedo Black*
EE Deepwater (Dark) Blue 51 Dusk (Dark) Blue
LL Tahoe Turquoise 57 Fathom (Dark) Green
MM Royal Plum 61 Burnished (Dark) Brown
NN Madeira Maroon 67 Burgundy (Maroon)

--------
* We have not found GM documentation
for the 1969 Tuxedo Black body sill
exception. However we believe it
followed the pattern of previous years,
and original 1969 cars bear this out.

GM documentation specifically listing the excepted body sill colors for 1968 has not yet been found, however, the CRG believes the excepted colors were the following:

1968 Body Sill Color Exceptions

AA Tuxedo Black (discontinued Jan 68)
EE Fathom (Dark) Blue (discontinued Jan 68)
NN Cordovan Maroon
VV Sequoia Green
ZZ British Green (new as of Jan 68)

 

does anyone know if this would apply to the rocker sills on a dover white RS/Z28?

 

White RS or style trim option car would get a black rocker...
