Headlight Bucket Color
« on: May 21, 2014, 09:17:45 PM »
Repainting the headlight buckets after almost 50 years of use, what black should they be, gloss or semi-gloss?

Thanks,
Chris

Believe he is referring to the bucket that the actual headlight sits in allowing for the headlights to be adjustable

All painted by the stamping plant/provider so no variation I'm aware of

Same finish through all the years
