Default Re: PRIMER COLOR

You are exactly right. When GMAD took over and after the 6 month strike by 1973 the darker color was the end result of cycling through of all of the old material that remained unused from the 1972 strike and finding a way to make it work and work longer.

When GMAD found that the old material could be made to work the cycle time on the product remaining in the tanks in was extended well beyond the original Fisher Body specification.

GMAD saved money but quality suffered.
