Headlight buckets painted black?????
Headlight buckets painted black?????
Can anyone give me any info on what years the headlight buckets were painted back on the camaro Z's? Or what the option code was if it was an option?
Mine is not and I am trying to find out if it came painted from the factory or if the older cars did not get them.
Thanks.

I think all Z28's had it, except for the black cars... as odd is that sounds.
The Black cars they did not paint the buckets with the semi-gloss black rather just black gloss paint like the rest of the car.

Re: Headlight buckets painted black?????
I was wondering some stuff too:
Was it a decal or paint
Was the edge of the black offset from the edge of headlight bucket?
was it gloss black like the grille or were they satin black?

As Scottmoyer pointed out all Z28/IROC-Z's headlight buckets were painted black.On my '83 Z28 it's satin black and offset just inside the edge of the bucket.On the '82-'84 Z28s the hood louver/cutout were decals which match the headlight buckets.
