Color of the back side of the taillights in the trunk?
« on: January 01, 2008 - 09:07:22 PM »
When the previous person did repainted they painted everything flat black...must have been a chevy guy.

Should the back of the taillights be light argent? or what?

Thanks!

Here you go!  Totally Auto did a great job! This is correct for a '71 but I think '70 is the same.

Yes I believe so, but if yours are in good shape there is a multi-step paint product out there (can't remember who) that duplicates the cad finish great (a lot cheaper).  There is a thread on here some where that shows how to paint a brake booster cad.  Good luck!

Eastwood used to have the cadmium-replicating paint kit.  Don't know if they still do since I fell off their mailing list.
