mkarstm Oct 28th, 02, 6:17 PM Can anyone tell me if the front filler panel( the piece behind the bumper) is black or the same color as the car on a 69 Chevelle? Also, what black is used below the deck lid between the tail lights. flat? satin? semi-gloss and where is the best place to get it . Thanks a bunch!!!!!! Mel GERS70 Oct 28th, 02, 10:53 PM Not sure about 69 but on my 70 it will be the same as the body color.Its been years since I had my 69 but I recall this panel being body color! Gerry 1970 SS396 & 1967 Sport Coupe Joey B Oct 29th, 02, 12:33 AM I asked this question myself at least 2 different times over the past year, and each time it has been the consensus that the front filler pan is black on an SS car in 69. I have had 2 69s (neither one original paint) and they both had this pan painted body color... but i guess 2 wrongs don't make a right http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif As for the rear panel, as long as its a semi-gloss black, its considered correct. I'm sure every batch was a little different, and anyone who says theres a 100% "correct" black for any certain part is fooling themselves. I've seen original cars with the black rear pan almost full gloss, and i know 69 camaro SS396 rear pans were almost as glossy as the rest of the paint, contrary to what most people beleive. I have looked at several original paint camaros, and scrutinized the paint inside the trunk and weatherstrip, where its never been rubbed on/waxed/etc. and its much glossier than most people paint them when restoring them... i would guess the chevelle to be the same. ------------------ My 69 SS Elco (http://members.aol.com/joeybsyc/elcooutside.jpg) engine (http://members.aol.com/joeybsyc/elcoengine.jpg) interior (http://members.aol.com/joeybsyc/elcointerior.jpg) SSuper Dave Oct 29th, 02, 7:22 AM '68 and '69 cars had the splash pan satin black, regardless of SS or Mailbu. '70-'72 were body color regardless of SS or Malibu. ------------------ "SSuper Dave" Palmer A.C.E.S. #1483 Team Chevelle #32 Gold 1968 Chevelle 427/390hp, 700R4, 3.31 12 bolt 1988 Trans Am, runs when nothing else will. 1970 El Camino, licensed and insured for the first time since 1988, drove it down the block the other day, bodywork is continuing. mr409 Oct 29th, 02, 8:21 AM I'd agree with the last post. That's the way I've always seen them. My '69 Malibu has it in black. ------------------ Bob (Pa.) 1963 Impala 283 1966 Chevelle SS 409 1969 Malibu 307 1972 Malibu 307 1969 C10 stepside 350 1971 Cheyenne 20 3/4 ton Somebody stop me... :) Looking for Chevelle or Impala parts?
