Satin= 30% gloss
Semi= 60% gloss

One wax job would create a more gloss look, imagine several.

The Tank is out of the car and I cleaned both rear corners top and bottom. I used lacquer thinner to clean down to bare metal and nothing. Could it be somewhere else on a 67??

CRG should be taking note of the info gathered in this thread and make a paper on it.

I looked at my original 67 02B tank and cannot find any date code. Are they supposed to be in the same place as 68 & 69??

First Question I have is...Does 67's have date codes? Where?  If not, should I restore the original or replace it with repro??

I think I know the answer.....here comes more work and cost...aarrrgggg.

I believe full gloss except the Dash top had an additive that made it less reflective. Not sure if it was flattener or some sort of crinkle agent. I guess it depended on year also, maybe someone else can chime in.

I concur, I saw many of these when they were new...SATIN BLACK......for sure! Also, if they had painted them Gloss I would have repainted them Satin myself..gloss is just too nerdy looking.

I have a Window sticker question concerning the above example from RS3SDL2MG .

If an option such as the Z87 which includes the glove box lamp is present on the sticker, then is it normal to have a RPO code like U27 (glove box lamp) on the sticker as well?

I am trying to put together my sticker and need to know if I need to leave out RPO's that are included in the package type RPO'S?

Thx
