I am going to finish repainting my 3 taillight panel sections today from the blue that they were back to Dupli Color wheel paint HWP102. What was the factory color on the license plate lamp housing? Is it the same as the panels or just black?

all 3 panels, the lamp housing, and your rear view mirror are all the same color. At least they were on mine. I used duplicolor universal metallic black and they came out nice. I cleared them as well.

I have a few cans of BBQ black paint....
