Can someone post or send me a couple of pictures that shows where the black out paint starts and stops under the front windshield trim and cowl? How did the factory tape off the area to separate from body colour. Many thanks .... Gary
Like this only no masking tape used, sloppy. I just couldn't do it like the UAW did.
Here is a view from my RT/SE Dealer Promo Survivor. I have had this since 1980. It was painted without the harsh tape line and done by free hand, which I prefer. It came from the LA Plant.
Wasn't it done on only certain colors?
Not sure if it was certain colors or not, but definitely not all cars got the black out. I'm speaking out my butt, but I think I have seen some yellow 70 challengers without the blackout, but mine has it. However, mine has a vinyl top and is a western sport special (a trim upgrade, similar to SE I belive).
My blackout was fairly rough. A fair amount of overspray, not taped up, just sprayed, probably before the fenders and probably after the engine bay
Here is what mine ended up like on a white car.
I never realized that area was blacked out, but I have a black car.
We have discussed this on here several times. There appears to be a date cut-off of sometime in April 1970. My Challenger N0B has a SPD of 508 and did not have the cowl blackout. May 1970 builds and later appear to not have the blackout.
For the radiator support blackout, Chrysler skipped three darker colors. The cowl blackout could have used the same skipped colors but not positive on that. Really no sense in blacking out the darker colors.
