Headlight bezels
Does anyone happen to know the correct color black for 1969 gto non hideaway headlight bezels? What about the correct color of the inner grills (Argent silver?) on a non judge? Thanks -

I think that is how the paint fades out on the old black. I have some parts that were originally black from my 71 chevy truck which faded into a charcoal gray.
Not 100% sure but some I have seen appear to have been plated rather than painted.

Mine are plated with black inside most areas and silver paint on the side where it meets the inner grill. I guess i was wondering if the paints colors for the rally II wheels are the same as used on the bezels and grill?

I have NOS bezels on my car so maybe we can get some idea of the gloss. I am not sure that they are quite 60%, but I would need a paint chart of different gloss to really know. If they are not close to full gloss and not flat, they will probably look correct when finished. I believe that these bezels and the tail light bezels are finished exactly the same.
The first 2 pictures are the NOS ones on my car. They have been on there a while but out in the sun very little so I believe they are faded little or none to the naked eye. The last 2 pictures are my car's original bezels. You can probably see the difference between the two--I hope. Edit: It is not easy to see in the pictures, but the black has a satin look--close to 60% I would guess.

Ohh those, I was thinking buckets rather than bezels.

I have some SEM Trim Black that seems to match the original - nearly flat black.
