You will have a much better look if you do not have body color showing through. What car and year are you working on? https://www.e-bodies.org/resources/cuda_...tions_drawings/

[quote=Alaskan_TA]You did not mention the type or year of car, but as one example......
1970 E-bodies had the lower parts of the A-pillar inner glass channel & lower windshield glass channel blacked out so that the body color would not appear as a 'stripe' between the glass & the leading edge of the dash pad.
I thought I read somewhere that F8 and B7 cars were not painted black? Please let me know if this is incorrect as I will soon be installing the windshield on my 70 F8 Challenger. Thanks. Here you go

Supposedly, the black ones also, but...... I have seen original paint '70 Challengers in EF8 & TX9 with full blackout. I have not looked close at any original in EB7 yet & I have not seen every original paint car either though. What do your before & during restoration photos show? My 38,000 mile 1970 EF8 Valiant also has the radiator blackout as normal.
