R/T Blackout shade

[Stacked440]

I know that the front grill and rear tail panel are blacked out for the R/T cars in 1971, but what shade of black? Flat? Gloss? Semi-gloss?  Anyone have a PPG or Dupont paint code?

The Black was actually molded into the plastic.  I had a friend who used SEM Landau black when he restored his and was happy with the results.  Durability is still questionable as I think a urathane paint would have been a better choice.

The 71 grille was Argent if it was a base Challenger & black for a Challenger R/T.
The tail panel was, I believe, body color for base models & Argent for the Ralleys.

Flat black was used (I'm not 100% sure on that though) FY1 or Barry will know for sure.  



EDIT - Whoops, I'm too slow.

You could try Ditzler code 9000.  That is the 71 paint code for the semi-gloss black stripes.

I will be using the SEM trim black which is what another member (CamJam) did his in and it looked very good.

There was another topic where I listed the colors CamJam gave me but I can't find it so here they are again:
SEM 39143 Trim Black
SEM 39283 Silver (grill)

Might as well include your own topic too for supplimentary information for others reading this post

Did any of the 71 cars have the tail stripe like the 70 r/t cars I always liked that way that looked.

If I'm reading my Govier book right, it indicates that the bumble bee stripe was a 1970 only option ( I think ). The book lists V9* as a " transverse paint " option for 1970 only, but it also lists a V8* " transverse tape " option for 1969 - 71.
Anybody know for sure what the scoop is on the bumble bee stripes?
