'68 Charger R/T correct color

[Silver Charger]

Need help regarding the shade of flat black that occurs between the rear tail lights on the '68 Charger R/T.  I've heard the term 20% of something a few times.
thanks,
Scott B.

Never heard this question before...

I really need to get those Tech Archives up don't I?

Troy, I'm referring to the flat black space that surrounds the trunk key lock and its where the Charger R/T emblem goes.  I've learned that there are about 6 shades of flat black to choose from.  I was hoping that someone knew specifically about which shade to use.  If not,  I'll go with a predominate flat. Thanks,
Scott

Scott, I know, you're talking about the black paint in this pic:


The links I posted covered what you needed to know - especially these:

I'm not sure that anyone can get the real paint any more but they can come close. I'd order it from a place like Totally Auto since it will be a close enough match to pass on a concourse car.

Something tells me I'm gonna know that car inside out one day, I ain't touching the suburban though, you can practice on that

Why not? It's in slightly better shape than your Charger... To be honest, I don't really want to practice on it either. 

As for the car, HURRY UP!
