Can someone describe what body lines to limit the extent or post a picture of the blacked out rear tail panel on a 68 BB Camaro. I am trying to figure out which tail panel body line to use for the bottom edge of the blackout panel?

Also, I've done a search without much success on what gloss black to use?

If 68's are like 69's the paint should follow the body line around the tail lights and up into the trunk thru the spot where the trunk bumpers hit on the body. The lower line splits the bumper bolt holes across the tail panel. Good luck finding the "correct" black paint. They use terms like 60% gloss. Whatever that means. I just shot base coat with a light gloss clear coat. Not "correct" but looks better than flat or semi-gloss.

kz100lt - What an annoying web site! Nothing works, you may want to find another hosting company.

Hey KZ1000, great website. The picture you have is for a 69. I am looking for a picture of the tail panel for 68. As for gloss %, who knows?

It's also looks to be more of a gloss finish than most are doing them these days. Here's another...

Great pictures. Can you tell me how far under the bumper. Past the body line or to it?
