Paint question
« on: January 30, 2016 - 08:57:57 PM »
Was watching Barrett-Jackson today for a short while. Saw a 1970 Challenger R/T convertible--440 Six-Pack--orange with a black top. They took the camera all around the car and I noticed that the tail light surround was painted what looked like a dark Argent. Is that a correct paint treatment for that area? I am referring to the sheet metal area that is around the tail lights.

Did it have trim on the tops of the doors & back of the hood?  If it did the tail panel trim is part of a package...

My friend Dave's car. I never seen that car in person, I can ask him when he get's back. Did anyone see what his red and black six pack, 4 speed, 70 Challenger, Mr. Norms car went for?

Thanks
Sheldon

I didn't notice any trim on the doors or hood but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. What would that trim package be called?

The door top & back of hood is beltline moldings but it's often grouped with packages like the Western Sport Special, the SE or Formal roof package and I know there's one I believe it's just referred to as the molding group, it's code A63...
