Don,

It's difficult to describe because they weren't all painted the same. Some bodies had more black on the angled surface of the firewall than others. Typically, the target was the vertical surface and what ever paint coverage that appeared on the angled surface was random.
In the pic below, you can see that the angled surfaces received almost no black at all. Just a light mist coat.
Other cars show a bit more coverage in that area. The amount of coverage would depend on the angle of spray which was usually nearly parallel to the angled surface.
Personally, I like the way the black fades off to red primer as the vertical section of the panel makes it's turn.
The car in the pic is unrestored.
