I do not have a 71 and I think there were different process in N.J. cars compared to Michigan cars.
I have been told by some that the side marker lights and tail lights did not have spatter paint over spray on them but I do not know for sure. It would be difficult to keep from getting the spatter paint on the exterior if the lights were not mounted. This is my original 73 Mach 1 some of the pictures were made before I cleaned it up and some after. There is over spray on the tail lights, side marker lights, wire harness, the rubber plugs and the seal around the gas filler. There is some spatter paint over spray along the bottom edge of the fold down trap door also. Body color on the under side of trunk and showing in various places inside the trunk.
I have never found an exact match to the spatter paint. I was told that it was a water base paint with the spatter being oil so they did not mix together. I do not know for sure.
It was all sprayed by a human and several different ones so never the same on any two cars.
