probably THE last paint question

[Michael B.]

as I strip and repair the 77 urethane bumpers it looks like the black that is on the front and rear cover extensions is painted on before body paint.

During painting did the factory simply mask the black extensions, then paint on body colour. Does anyone know what type of paint was used for the black of the bumper cover. I'm guessing the making was doubled over to let the body colour blend on?!

thanks, as always

Michael, I ordered my '77 new and still have it. I believe you are correct. Mine is #72 medium red body color and has no red under the semi-gloss black of the bumper extensions. The bumper black is similiar, if not the same, as the windshield trim.

Yes, black first, masked and color sprayed.
