[jazak5] Restoring a 69 barracuda fastback(formula "S") car does the rear sail panel supose to have the dark burgundy paint connecting the tail lights//if so is it painted(need paint code), or a stripe kit available//:finga: mine is missing

There should be upper n lower paint stripes. You can paint or stripe it.

A Formula "S" should have the black deck panel. (not argent silver) Yes the Maroon stripes should be there on top and bottom. There should also be a small round "S" badge in the lower right corner of the panel.

X2 the tail panel red matches the color of the tail lights.

The stripe paint is a dark satin red.

Yes, I took out all the dents & I wet sanded it then buffed it on a bench buffer/ polisher. I started with 320 grit & worked my way up to 2000 grit

If doing my 69 now. I used 220, 500, 1000 and 1200 wet paper with light handy oil, not water. To take off the anodized coating I used the yellow cap, heavy duty eay off oven cleaner. You can tell the costingis coming off by all the black slurr that appears when sanding. My tailpanel had the original paint still on it. The pane has some dents. I'm doing a formula S tailpanel treatment.

I couldn't justify spending $38 with shipping for rattle can. i went to my local Colours Inc. shop and had a close match put into a rattle can. Single stage paint.

Here is my base 69 tail panel that I did as a Formula S panel. I found a NOS fish emblem that will go on instead of the Formula S emblem. My own touch. To redo the the bright work this is what I did. I used Easy Off oven cleaner to take off the anodized coating using 220 wet sandpaper and using thin oil not water. Once cleaned up, I went with the following wet paper, 500, 1000, 1200, 2000 grit paper using light oil. Then I went to Harbor Frieght and bought the buffing kit that comes with white and red rouge. Put it on my drill and away it went to this. I have quite a bit of hours into it..........But I wanted to give it a try. I'm happy. Still need to do the letters and install the fish emblem.
