Looks like the rockers were Gold in this photo...
For Black to have been applied to the fender during the painting process at Chevrolet Assembly there would have to be a SPECIAL NOTE as it would not have fit typical production what so ever - non style trim cars have body colored rockers.
That leaves the possibility that
1. The Fender was blacked out in the touch up booth
OR
2. The rockers were painted Gold in the touch up at the end of Chevrolet assembly.
IF scenario #1 occurred - The black on the fender was applied in the touch up at the end of Chevrolet assembly - The tape line breaking the gold and black will be BELOW the trim - not through the center trim screw hole on the fender.
This would also lead to the following paint layers being CURRENTLY on the fenders and the rockers -
From the outer most color
Burgundy - black - gold
IF the fender is Burgundy - Black - Gold and
the Rocker is Burgundy - Black - Gold - Black - Gold -
Then it was in all likely hood painted in the same manner as Dave's (Bill Hunter's) X66 Yenko with the rockers having been painted at the end of Chevrolet Assembly.
