Ehrenberg claims the core support was painted from a pit.

Not one of my numerous A, B, or E bodies - 30 cars probably, all of them untouched originals except one - had organisol on the core support. Every one of them, except the black '68 Road Runner, had the blackout, even my E1 '68 & F8 '69 Road Runners. Some claim that E1, F8 and other dark colors didn't get the blackout, but mine did. Every one of them appeared to have been sprayed at an upward angle. Hamtramck, St Louis, and LA plants, maybe a Lynch car or 2 in there.

I have seen an engineering reference that the use of trim paint was allowed if Organisol was not available, but not the other way around.
Undercoating was sprayed from a pit.
The radiator supports were not.
Look at several original examples & you will see black over spray on top of the radiator support lower flange fairly often.
(IF this area was sprayed from a pit, the sprayer would have needed a ladder. )
Kind of curious if we know how long organisol was available and used for core support blackout? Into the late 70’s, 80’s.....? Thank you Red
