tail panel blackout dimensions

[farmerjoe 10]

my car is finally getting painted and paint guy wants me to show him how the tail panel needs to be painted . the more questions he asked the more I realized I did not no. I have seen plenty of pics but still not sure if underneath trunck lid needs to be painted. if anyone has any tips or pics would be greatly appreciated.

I had some pics from under the deck lid once, but have long since lost them (ya, I'm no help, sorry).

 

If I recall, the entire panel, including the lip that seals the trunk, is painted black. I don't recall now where the black ends on the lip as the lip rolls towards the front of the car.

 

Here are a few pictures I found just using Google Images (1969 Boss 302 Trunk).

 

Hope they help.

There are two methods: The Dearborn way, like the orange and blue Boss 302s, and the Meutchen way; like this:

Think that yellow one is a model, not a full scale car.

Fvike, thanks. I didn't know there was a difference. Did San Jose also do it differently?

 

CrazyHorse, it could me a model. It just happened to be image #2 on my Google search.
