    1963 headlight bezel paint finish

    Hello all... I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if the headlight bezels were painted and them buffed off the car or were they buffed on the car after the headlight buckets were assembled. I am trying to get the correct shine/finish on these parts and would like to know. Were they as glossy as the top surfaces of the car or were they duller like the jams and such. Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards, Rick

    Rick, best I can remember they were painted off the car, just as you suspected. The headlight bulbs and retainers were installed then the bezels as the car travel the line.

      I have seen originals and they still have a shine but not as glossy as the topside.
