Sorry if I missed the answer.
I have read thru all this and the link.
My AAR is still at the resto shop and none of the cowl, pinch weld, or radiator core support was painted blackout.
He says he has never seen this and has reference photos.
So not sure if his photos are correct or if this does not apply to the AAR.
I am not sure i want to bother with the pinch weld on a purple car, but if the other areas need to be painted then ??
Thanks

BTW the paint guide above says for 1971 cars
