I think Lamp Black is good. Stock on the '82 T/A.

Tuxedo Black for the body (look at the '67-69 Camaros to see this color) and then get a smooth semi-gloss black for the headlight pockets. IMO, 3rdgen Camaros just don't look right w/o the headlight pockets painted semi-gloss black.


(BTW - thats NOT the same as flat black. Don't use flat black)
