Tail Panel Paint Black Out 69

[chicken-deluxe]

Probobly a common thread, but I need to ask.    How far does the blackout extend on the panel?    Should there be body color out side the Chrome trim mouldings?

I know there was a schematic, but I can't find it.   Thanks

A couple things:


--  The factory "organisol" black paint was about as flat as it gets from all the original cars I've ever seen.  Not semigloss, not even satin, but truly flat black.  So flat that the surface of the finish was a little rougher than the body paint.  (Of course, if we're really trying to look factory original, the body paint itself probably shouldn't even be 100% glossed either . . . )

--  It doesn't matter too much about the upper boundaries of the black borders.  They'll be covered by chrome trim and body-colored corner caps either way. 

--  The black DOES extend all the way down.  There should be no body-colored paint visible between the bottom of the taillights and the top of the chrome bumper.  The black area includes the horizontal lip of sheetmetal sticking out just below/behind the top edge of the bumper.

--  On the chromed corner trim pieces, there's a small flat sliver of chromed surface that DID get black paint on it.  Look at the pieces and it should be obvious what I'm talking about (at least if the replating job didn't round-off the original crisp edges on the part too much).
