Exterior Paint instructions 1978 SilverAnniversary edition

[Cynthia A.]

I have have had the body restored of my 1978 Silver Anniversary of which I'm the original owner. I need instructions as to how to apply the paint on the lower body especially around the wheels with the charcoal color.
Also instructions on how to apply the decals/pinstripes.

While the factory photo below is of the pace car, I would virtually guarantee the process was the same.
I hope that you took copious photos of the car before stripping, as there are some unique items that were originally painted lower body color during this process. If you have any chance to see an unrestored 78 pace car, then it will show more obviously the silver-vs-black contrast.

Your 1978 AIM should have details on the actual measurements of the color break plus the decal instructions.

As Patrick states, this is the sheet from the Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM) that instructed workers how to apply the B2Z paint scheme. Door jambs are not painted.

Also instructions on how to apply the decals/pinstripes.

The decals should have had an instruction sheet included with them and how they are applied. Ok, the six pages from the AIM for decal application attached.
