I know we been through this before so please refresh my memory. I've got a 69,red,with Z28 stipes (white). what color should the body be under the cowl vent? RED?, WHITE? or BLACK? A difinitive answer would be a great help, Thanks

A Garnet red '69 Z/28 would almost always have black stripes. If the car had a Parchment vinyl roof it would have white stripes.

The area under the vent grille is always stripe color. Wiper linkage should be black, no overspray. Early production Z/28s built at Norwood with white stripes had white paint all over the firewall also.

Ever take the car to Classic McD's in Gurnee?

There is no pattern for "to much overspray" on the firwall. I have seen original paint late Norwood Camaros with white overspray past the seam line. With heavy runs in the corners. I have also seen a bare steel area between the black out and the body color on firewalls on original paint car. It seems they were all different... BKH
