Diabolic kustoms Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 So after tearing my car apart it seems that it started life cactus green and then was painted blue, now when I say painted blue I mean at the factory as it's blue under the firewall insulation, dash etc. It's green under the factory seam sealer but blue on top and the paint code sticker calls out blue, so my question is did they paint all blue cars green first? Or was mine a mess up? Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 I seem to remember some replacement panels being primered green. But then again, it has been a very long time since I seen one and a different century. Quote Link to comment

Rustbin Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 The factory undercoat is a greenish grey. It is also the color of the factory replacement panel that was used on my 510's rear quarter. I found the color inside the A pillar and under the sound deadening under the rear seat as well. The car was then covered in it's glorious orange. However on my red '69 four door the undercoat was red. 1 Quote Link to comment
Diabolic kustoms Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Rustbin my harvest gold one is a yellowish red sealer/primer but it's harvest gold under the seam sealer. This one looks like cactus green and even has some gloss to it. Quote Link to comment
iceman510 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I'm not seeing any green. That second picture is just light application of the color coat and the gray primer showing through. Quote Link to comment
Diabolic kustoms Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 The second picture is just showing it's factory blue, It's definitely factory blue just was odd that it was green underneath as my other cars we're a flat sealer/primer. Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 The factory used different color primers for different colors and year. That’s why the red car has orange primer and the butter scotch car has greenish gray primer. Quote Link to comment
