Default Gloss Black Headlight Buckets
So when I get my car painted my plan is to paint all of the black spots on the car (roof, berger, mirrors, headlight buckets, grille, manta) gloss black.

Does anyone have any pictures of Gloss Black headlight buckets?

Had my headlight buckets and grill painted gloss black on my Silver Z to go with my roof and mirrors. It was flat black from factory and I think it looks much better gloss. I'm painting a gloss black berger panel now too.

You sir, have one of the sexiest ******' 4th gen fbodies I've seen.

It was actually a black LT1 with an ultra-z hood that inspired me to get a 4th gen camaro. The ultra-z flows so much better with the lt1 front than with the ls1.

LOL! Thanks and it's still a work in progress too. My car was originally black and got tired of maintaining it. This is here back in the day in 97.
