Re: [AMC-list] factory paint

Dan,

All I know is what I have gained from reading the AMC literature and working on 
my cars.  I have three cars in original paint.   The bodies were dipped in a vat 
of primer up to the top of the A-pillars.  The roof did not make it into the 
liquid and was left in bare metal at that point, although I believe there was 
another upper body coat or coats of spray primer applied as a part of the spray 
paint process.   The underbody sheet metal did not receive any more paint, just 
overspray.  It would be great if someone who worked in the body plants could add 
more details.

When the cars were painted in the factory, what was the procedure and was the 
undercarriage painted body color.  I've stripped down the Javelin and have found 
a couple of place where there is a brown primer color instead of the 
bigbadorange on the whole thing.  I also found the back window mechanisms 
weren't painted body color but instead a green.  I was at the a cruise a few 
weeks ago and talked with the son of the dealership owner where the car was 
delivered. He was telling me he remembered my car and they had taken it to road 
america for a couple of laps a couple of weeks after unloading it in '70 to 
commemorate Donohue's driving for AMC.  It was pretty neat talking to him about 
the car when it was new.  He was best friends with the people that bought the 
car.

Just looking for a little info.
