Heater box restoration color

My e body heater box looks a little tired color wise and wondered how you guys refreshed yours?

If it has never been painted try wiping it down with a good coating of soft car wax and hand buff it. Also, you can just Spray Lemon Pledge on for a quick spiff up. It works very well!

Will try that and thanks! Another question- what color is the heater blower housing? Gloss black maybe?

AC - It's painted gloss black
Non/AC - it's plated, clear zinc

Okay thanks, mine is non air car.

In 73, the factory started using black painted blower motors on non A/C E-bodies.

FYI, I was refering to the plastic heater box HOUSING not the blower motor.

Yes. Sorry about that. They started painting them in 73 I think

I just restored my 71 Cuda heater box, Stephan @ SF restorations rebuilt and refinished my blower motor and I just cleaned my housing with Dawn soap and water. I hope these pictures help

I gotcha!

These photos help a lot, thanks!
