·I have a San Jose built 1970 Mach 1 with a Q code medium blue metallic exterior. I have the car on a rotisary and it is now ready for undercarriage, inside and engine compartment paint. In trying to decide the paint procedure the following questions arose:
Where should the blue stop and the semigloss black begin on the unibody cowl top and sides. The tops of the inner fenders weld onto the top of the cowl, I seem to recall these being black. However, I would think that under the cowl panel should be blue so the black does not show. The vertical portion of the firewall is broken by the sandwich of the cowl panel (1/2" protruding lip) this would be a logical break but still leaves doubts with the tops of the fenders that weld to the top of the cowl.
My undercarriage was a dark green which will be reproduced. Should this start at the tail light panel and proceed to the front of the car where the floor begins to slope?
Should there be any blue overspray on the undercarriage. How much and where? How about black overspray?
How is the black out done on the Rocker panels, where the Mach 1 mouldings are? It seams a shame to paint over the nice finish with black. Was this done prior to putting the Mach 1 mouldings on? Only where the blue would show, or the whole bottom 8-9" of the car?
Was the sound deadener inside the trunk and underneath applied after the paint?
Thanks for the assistance.
