I've got a few questions that I will lump together in one message:
1. Were all C1's primed with the same color primer or did they use various color of primers to go with the various finished exterior finishes? Specifically, what color primer went under the Frost Blue exterior color?
2. On a '59, just behind the grill there is a piece of fiberglass that is bolted with 4 small bolts to the bottom of the radiator support. This piece has two humps that make room for the front bumperette mounting bar. It joins at both ends to the front part of the inner fenderwells with two bolts or rivits underneath the front end of the car. In the '59 AIM there is a picture of the connection, but no reference the what kind of fasteners to use. Anybody know?
3. Are any of the 17 rubber grommets "painted" in any location on the car, or are they all simply unfinished rubber?
4. Are all of the grease zerks installed after the chassis blackout or before? In other words, are the zerks painted black or not?
5. My late '59 car will be painted with Frost Blue exterior, with a white cove and a red interior so my plan is (correct me if I'm wrong here) to paint the entire car Frost Blue (including the entire trunk, the entire convertible top compartment, the seat divider, the door jambs and the complete outside of the car). Then I will mask off and paint the white coves. I will finish by painting all interior components with the slightly flatter red interior color. Will my plan be correct?
6. The "manufacturers paint codes" are:
exterior - Frost Blue "502-A"
coves - Snowcrest White "518-A"
interior - Red " ? " (can't seem to find this one)
Does anyone know the "Dupont paint numbers" for each of these three paints?
Sorry for the very lengthy message!
Thanks in advance....
