i need to put the black back on the car, im not worried about putting the exact mopar paint on, since the car was painted viper red and its already not original.

its going to get its v21 tagged hood treatment, rear tail-light panel, and wing blacked out.

just wondering if i should go gloss, semi-gloss, or satin? id like to stay away from flat, its too hard to keep clean.

also im planning on putting billboards on the sides even though its a 72... i just love the way they look and i want them!

what do you guys think?

The original organisol is tough to shoot, not compatible with many of todays paints and tough to clean/maintain. Try planet colors "Rugged tones black textured paint PCR2 http://www.planetcolor.com/en/Products/~/media/Shared/Planet-Color/catalog.ashx found about 15 pages in. My painter stated that since it's a hardened product it should be tolerant of wax as well. I have a test panel thats been shot over a year ago so I'll try a bit of wax on it soon.....

Theres an old thread here that we have some cool info on... https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...t=2#Post3880794

And another.... https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...t=1#Post4744321

I just can't find the factory paint diagram, or anything showing how they shot it or with what....

Burdar is the fella who tipped you to me
My is I'd try to keep it a stock paint scheme. If you add billboards then from afar it will just look like a car you modified and folks will assume thats a non stock or added hood paint scheme. You have something different there I wouldn't muddy the waters.

This is what I would use for the tail panel if your not looking for perfection.
