underside blackout on hood
 

looking for pics of underside of hoods with only factory paint on them.
I dont have access to any right now and want to duplicate when I do a repaint.

Fremont built '67 here...

thanks for that
so this is all factory paint?
what about the lip in front
does the color go up under it?
I have my factory hood blanket stored somewhere
I ll start another thread on it when I can get a pic or 2 of it.

Yes, that photo was taken right after removing the original insulation pad and washing the underside. It is black all the way up to the point.

I cant tell from the pics but it appears the black even carries on to the lip
where both inner structure and outer skin meet.
Almost like the black was masked at the outer skin getting color
I.E. no overspray into the black.

I can confirm no masking.

There will be variation from final assembly location to final assembly location (and shift to shift and operator to operator).

I just took these new photos for you. It is all black up to the inside front edge/lip of the hood where the panels are spot welded together. There is a light mist of gold overspray evident, but not heavy like some you'll see from other plants.

From my Pontiac plant June built ‘67, original paint car.
