In 1969 Were GTO's painted in whole or were the shell, doors, trunk lid, hood & front fenders painted seperately?? I am wondering because I am repainting my GTO the original cameo white, but I was wondering how they kept overspray off of the frame and out of the wheel wells or if they just got overspray wherever. I guess no matter how I do it, I'm gonna have overspray somewhere, but I'd rather have it where it's supposed to be than not where it is supposed to be. Any info???

I'm not sure how they painted the cars in 69 at the factory . My guess is the painted the parts separetly , then assembled the car . They only had overspray in the wheelwells and on the floorpans . Also some overspray inside the trunk area . If you don't want overspray on your car , carefully mask the area you don't want to receive overspray .

Most professional painters will spend as much time, if not more time masking than painting the car. This is especially true for cars of lighter colors. The overspray tends to be more noticable.

I dismantled a 68. one owner, parts car. It looked liked the doors & trunk lid where originally painted on the car, but the front clip was not. I would guess the shell was painted off the frame because of the paint that was on the back side of the rockers, & under the frame. The wheelwells had paint on them as well, but were covered with black undercoating, or sound deadening material, & unfortunatly in this cars case, a lot of rust!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
