[PRCo] Re: Black on the PCCs

That black stripe is really dark green.  In good light it's really quite
evident.

Subject: [PRCo] Black on the PCCs





I know the PCC paint schemes were kicked around here awhile back but I'm
looking for details, 1" details to be exact.  I started painting my 1100 car
yesterday (it looks pretty good except for the bleeding of my poor mask job)
and I became confused with the black lines.  I know the bans around the
bottom is black and the door seals, but what about the 1" black piping
between the red and cream?  I looked at the color books and it appears that
there is a stripe along the top of the letter board between the read and
cream.  I Can't determine, though, if there is a stripe below the windows,
it looks darker but it doesn't really look like a black stripe.

So I need expert help.
Did all (most) cars PCCs get the top black stripe?
Is there a black stripe below the windows?  On all cars or just some?
Is the black stripe consistent on all paint schemes?  Mine is a red front.

Thanks.  I appreciate all the help I get from you folks.
