Those who followed the other thread on stripping paint from the headlight surrounds - this isn't about that. I now have 8 white surrounds. Two are my originals on my 72, 2 I recently picked up from NC, 2 that were just spares I picked up along the way, and 2 that I picked up at a Tweeks swap meet a long time ago(they are the ones painted black). All, but the last one I tried to strip have a smooth finish on them. Number 8 has a pebble-grained finish! What's up with that? Anyone else have these? What years? My parts manual is so old it's useless for things like this. Gotta know! |

Pat,
I have the smooth surface on my '70 which is the set that has always been on the car. I also have 3 spares that I've picked up over the years. One is a fine pebble grain with a part number on the inside. I can't find a part number on the smooth ones. Check yours. Don |

Don Both of my 1970's have a fine pebble grain creamy white surface on the face only, not the sides. I have two other sets of whites that were painted smooth. A small bit of sanding one one set revealed the pebble surface as well. The other was smooth. I'm inclined to believe that the repainted smooth set was sanded smooth before painting. |
