3rd generation paint question

[dustyswinger]

I have a 72 Charger thats pretty well optioned and am starting a restoration and wondering what color to paint a couple of things. I took out the headlight bucket assemblies and to me the brackets were black and the buckets were just cleared, anyone know the right color for them? The  A/C lines seem to have been black once, do they get gloss black? How about the hard lines that go between the evap core and condensor? One last question about the A/C is how do you clean the rubber part of the hoses to make them look like new?  I'm sure there wll be more questions later. Thanks Craig.

To be honest, with regards to the rubber A/C hoses - I just wiped them over with thinners and then coated them with Maquiers Endurance tire gel. Looks great.

Yes it does look great. Beautiful car. I have another 72 that I hope to make it into a superbee some day. I have the hood and rear valance. It will be a 400 stroker. I will paint it butterscotch. Craig
