[GDK_1968]

In an effort to rectify the multitude of questions regarding what component gets what degree of black gloss I am compiling a list.

My sole source for this information originates from the "Pontiac GTO Restoration Guide 1964-1972" and seem to have found a conflict or it was not made clear.

In the early pages of the book, the authors included a diagram that indicates the suspension components (control arms and stablizers for example) are 'Chassis Black'. A few hundred pages later the authors indicate that these same suspension components are 60% Gloss Black.

1) Is 'Chassis Black' the same amount of gloss and 60% gloss black?
2) The firewall, is it 30% (as the underside of hood) or 60% gloss black?
