71 cuda lower black paint

[realn96]

I know this has been asked before. just what to be 100% correct on this before I paint it. Is the lower rocker Organosol on a 71 cuda? Not just black paint correct? Also I know the rear tail panel gets the organosol, does that mean the taillight bezel get the organosol too? I am going to buy the paint this week. Is 1 quart enough for the shaker bubble, rocker and tail panel? thx

It's just flat black like the rad support black out. The tail panel and tail light bezels should be the same. I don't believe there was a lot of texture in 1971+ cars as there was in 1970.

Lower Rockers I believe to be the same as the radiator support.... flat black.

Organosol the tail panel and tail lights.  Not sure what was used on the black bubble in 71?

Don't forget...When you get to the point of applying the blackout treatment there's areas around the inside of the vehicle as well...Inside windshield A pillar and dash areas,rear wheelwell area between the seat and quarterpanel are a few that come to mind...

Good reminder @screamindriver   The "A" pillars and window area look better when properly blacked out.

I was just looking closer at the picture sceamindriver posted  , and I noticed it says to omit the blackout on the following colors. GF7 was one of them! My car is gf7. What do you guys think? I have seen two cars on the internet gf7 and they looked like they had the black on the lower rockers! What do you think I should do guys?

Dark paint cars were "spec'd" to not have blackout.  But I've seem then both ways originally.  So if you have an original car that you can reference, use that as your guideline.  If you can not tell what it was originally, use the factory documents as your guideline.

Does this lower rocker blackout apply to 1970 Challengers? 

[Cuda Cody]

Yes, the pinch welds do get black out on non dark cars.
