one VERY trusted source within this group and others advised matte black, which i have always thought, and had read in another VERY trusted source's books.
The confusion is there is a 69 SS396 survivor belonging to a GREAT member on the site with a body color (Fathom) tail light panel.
I am still trying to establish some validity to my 69 Camaro actually being a SS396 so i scraped some of the robins egg blue (yuck) off the tail panel and the results are below in photo.
So matte black, or body color...which can i hand my hat on?
Thanks folks!

Charley and I have had a debate on the % of gloss. I would paint it 60% gloss. Obviously as you polish the blackout paint it will become glossier over time. I would not paint it flat/matte. JMO
