the rear area was satin on 68s....not painted on as the new ones now..if its not painted on its an original...67s were shiny...68 got sating as the govt thought you could get blinded from sun shining on them...the new are painted on..but for my 69 I bought new , but as it started to peel off I used paint remover ,took it all off, then bought the visor knuckles for 67 and now mine is like a 67 on top of windshield, personally i like it better
