Title: 71-72 Mach1 stripe gloss
Post by: c9zx on April 19, 2011, 06:19:17 PM

Does anyone know the gloss level on the Mach 1 stripes for 71-72? I have heard matte, gloss, and semi-gloss. All input appreciated.

Thanks, Chuck

Are you asking about the large "hockey stick" side decals or the lower panel black?

The hockey stick stripes, trunk lid stripes, "Mach 1" sides and trunk lid, and "tape line" stripe where body color meets the the black on the lower body.

Thanks, Chuck

Believe I would describe the decal material is a matte finish though you can make it glossier with some dressing or waxes

Jeff, Thank you for answering. Your answer confirms the information I've found so far. I have been able to track down a set of the lower body stripes that cover the paint line to confirm the width and spacing of those stripes (.25 bk, .25 gap, .75 bk).

Thanks Again,
Chuck
