They were dipped in primer. Resto Rick sells the paint you want to get the factory look, then body color oversprayed on to the dip primer colored paint. I like to use epoxy then resto rick primer look paint on top of that.

The primer bath color can be found behind your door panels and about half way up the firewall on the interior side.
My car (70 Dart) had a medium charcoal grey color dip line, and not the lighter gray that I see in car magazines and internet photos. Maybe it's the camera flash that makes the grey look lighter I don't know. Maybe each plant had a slightly different mixture of whatever they used and it changed as they replenished it over time?

I have no idea how close this is to a factory look, but this is what I did after reading about what the underside of a factory fresh car looked like. My body guy, then sprayed a very low gloss clear over the primer on the underside to help seal it.
