From the site:
1967 Mid-Year Changes:

The dash paint has suede additive to it and is often referred to as 0% gloss.

« on: April 07, 2024, 02:54:58 AM »Your stainless guy does some of the best polishing I've seen, compared to the other 69 that was being judged - side by side the stainless on your car was far superior.There's no question, the stainless will polish much brighter than factory. But it will oxidize over time (might not be a problem on a show car) and isn't the factory finish.

Foreign Camaros / Re: Swiss Camaro, Explanations

I'm confused why I didn't reply!
More detail:
All of the non-U.S. factories assembled Camaros from "completely knocked down" (CKD) kits. The CKD cars were exported as a kit with complete assembly required. The parts and subassemblies for CKD export units were the same parts and subassemblies that were delivered to the NOR and LOS assembly plants. These parts were shipped to a central collection point (called a "boxing plant"), consolidated into kits, and then packed into containers for shipment overseas to small GM joint-venture and contractor-operated assembly operations. The boxing plant was located in Bloomfield, NJ and was managed by GM Overseas Operations. With twenty-four cars in the typical export car order (XCO) and generally six CKD kits to a container, that meant four containers were required per XCO.
SUP is a complete assembled-in-US car that is then shipped internationally.
CKD is a prefabricated car which in turn is disassembled for shipment. At the destination is rebuilt together. Correct?No. Incorrect. CKD is a car shipped in parts (the exact same parts shipped to the US assembly plants) and assembled at the CKD plant. Those parts would never see the inside of the US assembly plant - they would be sent to the warehouse in Bloomfield, NJ. When all the parts were gathered, the shipment of would be sent.
And SUP are undefined on an Ato, so miscible with all the other parts?

When you polish SS trim, you'll burn through the layer of flash chrome. Yup, the originals aren't as bright, but they don't oxidize either.....
