The problem of getting the details right on a 71 Duster is that so few people have EVER studied the correct details. Most of the restored ones or clones out there have a few to a bunch of changes, add ons, and other non original mods, finding a bone stock 100% original type restoration is basically unheard of. As common as they once were it's amazing how so few still survive with original paint and other details, trust me getting all the little stuff right is a MAJOR challenge with these cars! MUCH more difficult than restoring a more popular car like a Hemi Cuda, etc.
In answer to your question, the only 2 examples of original paint V24 hood Dusters had paint details like Jason's yellow example, it looks like a mask was used but a loose fitting one that allowed the edges to fog a bit.
