Swapman vs. 1970A13 vs. Mopar Action. Who's right?

We need your help.

Was talking to my friend 1970A13 yesterday and we were discussing the new Feb. 2015 Mopar Action Hemi Superbird article.

On the rear of the front fender, there is a black phosphate bolt that secures the inner splash shield.

We both agree that the bolt is black phosphate but we disagree on the "brush applied" blackout on the fender.

I have seen several so called survivors and I believe that this tab had black paint on it. But I did not take some pics, just have my memory to go on.

1970A13 is not as sure and says he will do some more checking. He is very knowledgeable on B-Bodys and Mopars in general. He was very helpful when I restored my Bird. He also owns a B5 Bird which is really cool. He saved me from making more than a few mistakes.

So I wouldn't bet the farm that my memory is correct.

So, what say you, the Mopar Masses.

What is the alternative to BRUSH APPLIED ???

Mask and spray bomb ?

Leave it body color ?

I believe it was brush applied.

Scott thinks it was left body color.

What say you?

1970 Plymouth b-body - I also believe it was brush applied.
What does the Mopar Action article claim, details?

Can you assume a Superbird fender would get the same treatment as regular B-bodies?



FWIW, A-bodies have that same idea fender tab. I've seen many survivors black. Seem sprayed on those?

This is NOT a B-body fender. It's a 68 Dart fender.
