Looking for some clarification and information concerning the correct primer color for my Pontiac built 64 GTO in Yorktown Blue paint.

1. What color of primer was used prior to paint? Looks like there was a coat of black on the bare metal and then red oxide over top of this prior to paint. Is this correct and if not what is correct?

2. What is the correct method that was used to apply the seam sealer between the trunk pan and wheel wells as well as trunk pan and 1/4 panel extensions? Was it brushed after application or just applied as a flat bead? Any pictures would be appreciated.

3. Was there seam sealer applied prior to installation or after installation to the metal oval trunk floor plugs?

Any assistance to these questions would deeply be appreciated. Thank you.

I can't answer most of your questions but I can tell you that every Pontiac of that era that I have sanded the paint off of had red primer.
