"all cars" is a pretty broad statement,
my car was all original when i bought it, it was gold
everywhere, i have only heard of "chevy" guys painting
these areas black, before this thread.
i have seen many originals, none with the black
treatment.

Does anyone know whether the black-out method
used on this car was
factory correct? If that's the correct way,
then I've seen a lot of
incorrect restorations...Brian
Perhaps it had to do with if and when the
undercoating was applied and
by whom.I've seen more Plymouth's that way than
Dodges,even Dodges with
undercoating and Plymouth's without it.
nope. the "behind the grille black out" was used on
all cars, except
those that were body color black, dark green, or
dark blue.
my 63 Dodge 330 was a stripped down 330 wagon, body
color white, with
the black out, my 64 Dart is beige car with the
black out. same goes
for my 67 Dart GT (gold).
I was advised that the correct color was semi-gloss
black. after
applying that color to the blackout area on my 63
Dodge, and comparing
it to what was there before and what is on my 64
Dart, I think
semi-gloss is the correct color.
