Re: Nice survivor daytona yellow camaro L78
Here is a pretty good one showing Bill's tail panel
 FWIW I used catalyzed black enamel with 50% clear coat added, then 25% flattener by volume.  If you polish it at all it gets glossier. 30% flattener then polished half with rubbing compound and fine polish.  20% Flattener then polished half compound and fine polish.

Re: Nice survivor daytona yellow camaro L78
If you want to get picky, make sure it does not match the standard shade of black body paint. Its a bit different. In the direct sun it acts different than the original black body paint that stays deep black.

Re: Nice survivor daytona yellow camaro L78
It is slightly gray compared to the black on the remainder of the car- if that makes sense.
FWIW Flattener uses fine talc to knock down the sheen- talc is white, which adds an ever so slight gray tint to the paint.

Re: Nice survivor daytona yellow camaro L78
The Technical and Restoration forum probably deserves a sticky thread on the correct sheen of big-block car black tail panels.
