75 roadster with AC blackout

[Ross F.]

I have a C3 roadster with AC , so the Astro vent in the back deck is blocked.
I see evidence of blackout on the inside below the deck vents. However the rubber flapper is just oversprayed.
What it the extent of black out in this area.
body is going back on saturday, so I'm trying to get all the details I can.

In the 1970-72 TIM&JG we describe a masked black-out operation for the rear deck astro vents, but I am not sure that the same process was used in 1975. Below is roughly the 1970-72 process. Use at your own risk.

A mask was placed on the rear deck. The mask had openings for the two vents and had a slight lip that located the mask such that the vent openings were exposed, but the lip of the opening was covered. Once the mask was in place a shot of the same black-out that was used on the engine compartment, upper forward doors, and interior storage compartments was shot into the rear vent openings. the intent was to cover the body color over spray in the vent area.
