Trunk Paint
 
For a 70, does anyone know what color the inside of the quarters, wheel housing and underside of the parcel tray should be BEFORE the spatter paint was applied?

Would John Deere Blitz Black look correct?

Thanks

On my 68, I found no evidence of paint above the wheel housings, upper quarter panels, under the package shelf or the drop off between the quarter panel and the trunk floor. There was some evidence of a light coat of primer.
I did re-spray primer to those areas before splatter painting the trunk.

If you couldn't see it from behind the bumper, it didn't get sprayed.

OG68, I agree and any paint under the parcel tray was just overspray.

I guess my question is, what would be the correct color to use for those areas? Most of it will be covered by spatter paint and some will be covered by body color overspray but for the remaining areas such as the back side of the trunk/seat divider, what does everyone use that will match the original paint/primer?
