Default 66 Chevelle... Should I paint rear panel or not?

I have read that either black or body color are both "correct", and I don't really care about that aspect anyway.

Just wondering if the majority of people think the center rear panel would look better painted the correct semi gloss black, or should I leave it as-is?

Your opinions are welcome.

I think the black would look good. Kind of breaks it up.

If you paint it black be prepared for the guys who "know everything" to tell you it's not correct...

black cove, Bruce? Where was your car built?


By now most people in the know realize that not all plants were painting SS chevelles alike in 65 and 66. I like the solid silver paint.

Do what you like and remember what the wise man said
"what other people think is none of your business"
