I had seen a Chrysler Engineering Drawing showing the paint location. Who can post a copy? Thanks

Notice how random the coverage was even on the same car. The paint ran and dried in one position so the cars must have been parked for some period of time shortly after the wheels were installed. 8153879-1.jpg (918 downloads)
