Stewys454 Posted November 28, 2024 Posted November 28, 2024 Hi everyone. I've been searching old posts for my answer to no avail. I have a 71 SS454 that is being painted factory black and I'm trying to find out what the black valance area below the trunk should be as far as the sheen goes. I doubt it matters but it's a Canadian car. I painted once in the 70's and can't remember if it was flat, satin or the same as the rest of the black. I know on any color car but black, the rear valance is flat or satin. Thanks for any knowledge you can give me. 1 Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted November 28, 2024 Posted November 28, 2024 I just looked at a black one and it is gloss like the rest of the car. 1 Quote
Dtret Posted November 28, 2024 Posted November 28, 2024 A factory black car would all be the same 2 Quote
willie Posted November 28, 2024 Posted November 28, 2024 I agree with Steve and Dennis, Black SSs get the gloss on the rear panel!! 1 Quote

714024SPEED Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 I have seen black cars with both satin and gloss. I'm not 100% on what is correct may varry where it was built. Here is a picture of my 71 that has the satin blackout. Just to be clear this car is NOT an SS but is a factory black car with original paint, the rockers are satin black so I did this to match. 6 Quote
