69 Tail Light Hsg Interior Finish
This is what I found when I removed my driver's side tail light lenses.
Appears that someone coated the interior with a thick gray paint. It's certainly not reflective. Question: What's the OEM finish?

Hi,
The housings originally had a thickish bright white paint in them.
I touched up using 'appliance white'.
Regards,
Alan

use paint stripper, or media blast to remove the caked on old paint, then repaint.
a smooth surface will be much more reflective of the light.

Thanks, guys. Looks like I've got another little project - another de-bubba project! Let's not be too hard on the old boy, in many cases he means well
