1965 Dodge Dart Charger

Vent to the bodyman the other day. He did some serious rubbing on the front valence panel behind where the bumper was.He got the orginal paint as it was from the factory. Now he will go to the paintshop to get the paint. They just shoot a picture with some kind of machine and the machine makes the formula for the paint!!!!! Talk about rocket science!

I have found out that when the body showed up at the paint boot they sprayed the body with some kind of whitish paint inside and then added the red primer, green primer and then some kind of white primer to sand off for best result before the final paint was sprayed. We just sanded the front valence with fine sand paper and then it showed up.Look at the whitish paint above the wiper motor.

Today I have been working with the body to find out how they added the body sealer. It seems from my car that they did it after the car was sprayed with whitish primer inside. All body sealer has paint on it.

Also checked out my brother in laws car and it the same even if that car is assembled in Detroit.

On the inner fenderswells the factory used tape to mask off the holes toward the engine compartment so they didn't get undercoating in the engine compartment.
