I am going to be painting the lower blackout paint soon. The only info I can find on location is on the 429 site under paint info.
It shows the paint should go up about 4 1/2" above the rocker panel. So I can measure that and extend the upper line level from the back of the front fender, across the door, and to front of the rear wheelwell.
But there is no info for the front of the fender, or the rear of the quarter panel. Looking at pics of cars, it doesn't look like the front and back is level with the middle. Is there some measurement or reference point to tape it off? I have the decals to put over the paint line between the lower black and body color. Just not sure quite where to locate the top of the black other than in the middle of the car measured off the rocker.
Any info or close up pics would be appreciated! EDIT---- Looking closer at pics, it appears there is no blackout on the front fender? I think I jusr assumed there was, but it looks like the front valance ect is black, but the fender doesn't have any lower blackout?
