Default Painting the bonneville

Finally bought the bullet and decided to paint my 69 bonne convertible.

Strange paint situation. I bought the car from the second owner, car was built and lived in Los Angeles until he retired and moved to Oregon interior (grants pass).

Car was originally expresso but it was painted limelight green early in its life. When they painted it they went to the trouble of removing all the moldings, trim etc including bumpers and stripping everything to bare metal but they left the door and trunk jams as well as the front and rear bumper inserts brown!

Many years later it was switched to a late model red, this time with a quick mask and shoot job so the brown parts stayed brown!

I'd love to understand that logic
