Z/28 Paint Application ??? - 76 76 Daytona Yellow

[NorCam]

FWIW, Stefano had a car a few years ago that was later sold as a prepped roller that was completely finished in primer/sealer. It was a yellow on yellow RS Z/28 and the floors were finished much how this car was found with a lot of gray original primer and lot's of yellow overspray in the rear of the car. Mine appears to have even more yellow up in the tunnel but the grey base is nearly identical in the rear area of the car. On mine, there does not appear to be any black base other than the lower floor plans and up in the transmission tunnel area. Sound deadener was also applied to the back wheel openings and was over-sprayed along the rear frame rails after the wheel openings being done, and before the time the body surface was sprayed yellow. I say that because the wheel tuns were yellow, then had the sound deadener applied, then they have another dusting of yellow overspray on them from when the body was shot. Firewall was of course black over yellow as stated earlier.

Here are the pics of that other yellow on yellow car. It does not have any black applied to the floor boards as mine does?

Here's another unsolicited opinion for ya....my car is missing all it's original drivetrain and I only have ownership history back to early 1970 for documentation on mine. Even though I'm not going 100% correct at this point with smog and exhaust and will add race trim graphics in vinyl, I decided to replicate the factory overspray I found during hand-stripping because it would be a bear to try to do it down the road. All the race trim stuff will be bolt on or "peel off" so a future owner can go the factory stock route with relative ease. Going for the "best of both worlds" as I have a high appreciation for both.
