The general rule of thumb with stripes or 2-tones is that they'd spray them first as they were the smallest area to mask, thereby using the least amount of time & materials. Apparently in this case they had another reason.
Rick I would think on a '69 rr/GTX the body color painted part of the center of the hood and the a fender tops would require less masking then the hood stripe area. All that would be needed (no expert) would be center masking and fender masking of the body paint at the outer stipe edge and drapped over the fender. Windshield would be the same no matter which way it was done.

I guess it depends if they'd have the need to cover the rest of the car... maybe not in a industrial ventilation setting.
I've been sick all week, so my reasoning skills seem to be a bit off.. lol
As for the other post about painting over organisol... they did exactly that on AAR Cuda's and the edges of the areas such as 69 GTX lower sides.
I agree that the OEM texture of it wasn't nearly as aggressive as many believe. The aftermarket paints were typically too coarse or applied in too many coats building excessive texture.

Nobody has mentioned the obvious yet, which is: with the rough texture of the organosol, it would be nearly impossible to spray a body color over and look right without MAJOR sanding. Being careful at the same time not to sand into the stripe that stays black.
without trying to start another great debate over Organosol, I have owned, or do currently own several cars with factory original Organosol paint, and it was not rough like so many restored cars have it. Basically it was metallic flat black. The paints now have a suede additive that makes it gritty. It was not like that back in 69.
Now dashboards and columns on the other hand were gritty, to make it soft appearing for the interior,except some A bodies that just had flat paint on the dash for some unknown reason.
 we have the correct additive for organosol and it is not gritty at all.
looking at the pics of the original paint cars there was blowthrough in the underhood jam areas-the method would have been quicker than the stripe first approach because the masking of the stripe and having to open the hood to paint engine bay area would have been more time consuming.
all the best
frank.

Well I went ahead and painted the stipes on a 69 runner I have been painting for a customer. I painted them after I painted the car. The results were amazing especially the over spray pattern created inside the engine compartment.
Until I find a factory bulletin or an example of an original car with stripes painted first I gotta say they were painted last.
