Hey Ban do you have an SS car? There is some good info on the rear panel paint:

and this thread:http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=7348.15
So why would you think that the 69 BB cars rear panel were painted at the dealer? On top of that -with the bumpers on???
We like contributions from all members here in the CRG, most of which is based on experience or knowledge, I would just like to hear where you got this info from.
thanks buddy :)

No, mine is just a Z/28
X33RS:
I have a set with paint on them like that and often wondered what that was about. You're talking about the small piece that sticks out the bottom where the bolt goes through.
I always thought it might be some kind of attempt by GM to hide it, but thought it was strange myself because it would only look right on a black car (I think) Any other color and I would think those black sections would be noticeable. So I didn't know if it was a factory deal or not, and never investigated.
X33RS:
Haha, I log in and now I see your pics. Yep, I have a set like that in a box. The set on my Z doesn't have any remnants of paint that I can see though. If it did it's worn off for sure.
Spooky:
I have a set of rusty originals and they have the same black paint on them. I don't think it was a SS blacked out panel thing. Mine came off a Z28. Also Blacked out rear panels didn't extend below the rear bumper that far. Probably just a GM thing to hide the bracket part to not distract from the bumper guard itself.
