The car he was referring to was repainted, incorrectly.
All BB's had black tailpanels, with pacer/Z10 exception.

Yes I communicated with Kurt privately and he had info on the car i was unaware of, and he set me straight!

Thanks as always Kurt for your expertise!

here are some samples of Dupont Black lacquer with the referenced amount of flattener...
I then placed a piece of tape over one side and then polished the other side by hand with some fine cut cleaner and a rag, the results speak for themselves.

80% gloss ~ 20% flattener


70% gloss ~ 30% flattener


Another - the top sample is 10% flattener -



As you can see - polishing does away with the majority of the matte look whether the ratio is 70 or 80%.
