Question for Restro experts.

Does anyone know how much of the radiator support was blacked out with paint from the factory? I'm talking about the area that shows through the front grill. Getting ready to do that if we ever have another (global warming) 60 degree day.

These are from a '68 but they are done the same on the '69's;

If you want I can take a buch of pics of my '69, its still original, looks like they threw up a template and just roughly sprayed what they wanted blacked out.....

No you don't have to but thanks. A12 and Bob gave me more than enough info. Thanks.

I think some colors didn't get the blackout treatment. Maybe do some research???

Some didn't, black was one of them. I've seen F8 and B7 with the black-out so for '69 colors what beside X9 - black, would not get the black-out treatment if all of the available colors are lighter??

Here's a survivor '69 F8 road runner with black-out
