Hi all, I am just beginning the restore of the tail panel on my '68 GTX. I have stripped off all the old argent and reflective stripes on the panel and tail light pieces. It is now ready to mask and start painitng. I want to do this correctly and need a close up of painting details. If you have pics of a correctly finished one could you post them? Also, any advice would surely be welcome! I bought the Light Argent from Totally Auto and the reflective stripes from Performance Car Graphics. Thanks in advance!

I think the light Argent is too light. I got a can of both the light and darker Argent for mine....went with the darker one as it was just about dead on original colour. Judging by the posts on here about '68 GTX trials and tribulations, there otta be some more experts out there. Seems to be a real popular car lately.

Pic of grille. You see it's much darker then tail panel.
Looks black to me. If that is in fact what it is, totally incorrect.
Grille should be a gray color similar to the 68-9 Chargers, with non textured argent accents.
Deck finish panel should be medium textured argent.
Maybe Paul Jacobs would be so kind to post some pics of these areas from the red 68 hemi GTX conv. he had at the nats last year.
How about it, Paul? Please?
