Original paint RG with door panel and weather barrier removed. I would say it has pretty decent paint coverage, and the no doubt gray primer does take on a purplish tint
Same door different angle looks grey..BKH

Is there a suggestion here that the car in question has a full coating of grey primer on its door and maybe not EO ?
Wouldn't the EO fade into the primer more predominantly ?
I see what I believe is primer in non natural light along with alot of yellow then the metallic red.

With the doors off I see alot of DY every where except where the hinges bolt on and none but primer on the bulkhead/cowl area.

Vinyl roof cars as far as I've seen in person with the vinyl stripped off are not full body color.
They seem cut in too the molding trim area and the rest primer. Fisher has welded on the trim studs before leaving there facility.
I have not seen any definitive EO where its supposed to be on a factory paint job.

EO is metallic lacquer finish and has a definite haze per say when you see the over spray fanning out into primer.
I don't see any evidence of this in the pics posted.

I'm not saying it is or isn't EO but I don't see any other evidence to support it either..
If in fact it was a factory EO spray.... it must have been one of the worst paint jobs to come off the line in the door, door jamb area..... there's not enough paint.

Why all the yellow and in a fashion consistent with factory spray techniques of painting the body with doors and deck lid attached.

Any pics exist of the deck lid underside on or off the car ?

It's my recollection that the trunk lid either wasn't OE or had been re-painted underneath.

We also didn't see "...any definitive EO where it is supposed to be..." And we actually saw the car.

Trim studs were put on right after major body shop activities were completed at FB.

This would have been a paint pot car with lots of human touches so I would expect many non mass production details to emerge associated with paint on this specific vehicle.

I wonder if there are any assembly plant workers that remember the car?? Would have been unique coming down the line.

my questions to the doubters out there are. why would I tell the person who called me out of the blue about buying the car a untruth about the color ??? if the expert had not said it was silver would the color be in question?? why does experts opinion hold more influence than the original owner who looked at the car for many months in his garage vs someone who looked at it for 2 hours ??????

I would expect better coverage in the area under the door panels on a normal (not hand sprayed) RG or HO car because of the color difference between the main body color and the primer.

Not so much on a special paint car where the body color was close to the primer color.

Oh and I did not originally introduce the photos of the "purplish" color primer on the Hugger Orange car. Just mentioned them again because they seemed to be ignored at first and I felt they were pertinent.

Think about it...and what the preponderance of the evidence showed on the car itself.

It's a special paint car no doubt - so how much does that add value to the car? Hard to say. It may still be a one of one - but Flamingo Silver / Sunset Silver - instead of that other color that keeps getting brought up.

Flamingo Silver / Sunset Silver shows up darker or has more of a purplish tint in some paint chip books (I have more than one book) so I can see how there may have been a misunderstanding.

There is no way to go back and look at the car now to see.

since there were only several special paint 69 Z/28 I am sure my Z/28 was the first one the experts ever saw and did not know what they were looking at.

Clem,

I suspect Lillard was on the money several pages back on the thread content on this car being finished as the content is now being actively demagogued along with several straw-man arguments.

IMO...this has little to do with your old car and everything about defending things that were said on other forums about your car in the past...and accordingly I explect a thread lock here to calm the board.

For what is worth I believe you.
