If the car has the V21 option it gets painted like the air grabber...
Gotcha, so not all cars got the V21... Obviously.

Link to the roadrunnernest showing paint colors for louvers (all other colors got flat black louvers). http://www.roadrunnernest.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=485Agree with others, V21 indicated the hood blackout behind the AG bubble (although I've seen a few cars not coded V21 that did have the paint blackout). The rear bumper/valance blackout was part of the A87 package on road runners and separately coded M75 on GTXs

where do you see it indicate the paint blackout is correct for all air grabber cars?

In the lower right hand corner it says " PAINT - AIR GRABBER HOOD"
I interpret that to mean the extended paint at the end of the hood towards the windshield is part of the air grabber hood package.
Unless I missed something, or someone else has another illustration or documentation that says otherwise...

Using your logic that means that there should be a plymouth on every air grabber hood car. There isn't, see attached. The hood paint extention was a coded option. Just because it had a air grabber didn't mean it also got the additional hood paint.
My Engineering background is with aircraft, but here goes...
The "Plymouth" badging seems to be the feature controlled by sales codes (A93) and possibly year or mid-year effectivity breaks. I cannot clearly read all the effectivity modifier text, or some of the text in the revision block... maybe someone else following this thread can.
Since there appears that there are no effectivity modifiers on the callouts for the paint application, my guess is that all Air Grabber equipped cars would have had it...

I have copies of all the 71 B body stripe/paint engineering drawings. As I recall, they don't necessarily tell you when it is correct to apply the decals or stripes, but do indicate how to correctly apply them when needed.
Bottom line is some cars did not come through with the area behind the bubble painted...and I have many fender tags on file both with and without V21 for N96 cars.
Also, I have details for stripes that were never factory installed on cars (obviously discontinued before production).
