Not sure if this holds true for the 62-65 cars and never say never with Mopar but the 66/67 Charger group did extensive research into this and found it's exactly what MO just said. The light colored cars got the black sprayed on the front of the radiator support and the darker colored cars did not.

I think they sprayed black from underneath to the front of the radiator support and was not concerned with getting it ALL neatly painted. . This is on the cars that were light colored enough to show thru the grill. The darker colors may not have been painted black. And Herb-- we will have to check with D-500 Neil to find where the correct overspray should show!!

I seem to remember reading they had someone in a pit spraying black up from the underside.

The body including the engine compartment, doors, hood, deck lid and fenders but not the under body get painted body color. I don't think I'm over generalizing when I say nothing else is body color. The rest is a science. Anybody got a compile list they could pass on to us? Akron Don Gallimore ----- Original Message ----

Suspension components, steering,radiator, etc. I want it to look like it did from the factory. ..........Merwin [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
