Quote: That's why I believe that could be true, but I don't have a survivor handy to check out. The lower paint treatment on a 69 X or a Coronet 500 would have to have been done that way as well if this is the way it was. They must have used lacquer primer as well....

Chrysler did not use laqcuer primer. They used epoxy primer only at that time. Most Chrysler factories sprayed the bare body (after the chemical dip, latex primer dip process) with red oxide epoxy, then green-grey epoxy. This was then baked and then wet sanded before spraying it with Enamel and again baking it.
