I think the method of striping differed from plant to plant . notice how the stripe on this car does not run to edge. Also look close to ends , appears to have been taped and sprayed . Although I have seen pics of a worker free handing stripe

probably one of those things where you will have to hunt down a car that was built at your plant to examine.

Taped, not sprayed.

That is, stripes were painted by hand (presumably be using the fixture in the photo to which you refer) but for some plants the joints and gaps were taped to provide a crisp end.

The Pontiac plant did not tape the ends.

I'm on vacation presently but can measure my car when I get home.
