Does anyone know when on the assembly line the radiator support received the black-out paint? Was it applied right out of the paint shop or was the car partially assembled and then got painted. I'm mostly concerned with what might/would have been on the radiator support when the black-out was applied. Thanks,John.

Common consensus is it was painted right out of the paint shop by a guy standing in a pit; pattern was inconsistent with lots of overspray. Dark colored cars didn't get the blackout.

If from a pit, would you have used a ladder or super long arms to do this? Maybe a pogo stick? (That would be fun) From the low mile T/A;

Since nobody answered my question, I have a yellow 69 B body that doesn't have any blackout. It should have blackout

There was a B/W photo in Mopar Action about 10 years ago of a guy in a PIT spraying a 68 or 69 body. Anyone remember that?? Yep, and the text supporting it was from E-booger hisself.

It's the paint code for Dark green that was used in 69 and 70. It is one of the darker colors that were exempted from the blackout. If your car was yellow it should have the blackout
