    Primer & Blackout on Fiberglass Under Body 1963?

    While cleaning the underside to determine where touch-up is needed in prep for the October regional, I noticed what appeared to be a red/brown primer beneath blackout on the sides and upper portion of the fiberglass of the storage wells (behind the seats). I discovered this by using paint remover and sanding what I thought was overspray from previous attempts to paint the frame rails, etc., by someone in their pre-NCRS years . The attached photo shows a run in the paint/blackout?.
    I reviewed the Assembly Process paper by Hinckley and in one section it stated "Body transferred into 3-job long downdraft spray booth; Spray quick-flash lacquer-based red oxide primer coat, flash for one job length, spray lacquer-based gray primer coat (including parts on body floor); two sprayers – one on each side, mirroring each other’s spray action." Also, ""After final bake, body was moved through a transfer area to the Black-Out Spray Booth, where the engine compartment, hood underside, cowl plenum cavities, and wheel wells were sprayed with a 10°-gloss black quick-flash air-dry Duco lacquer".
    Thoughts on this?

    Just clean it up, don't remove any of the blackout seen in this picture. Runs in the paint were an everyday occurrence back then.
